- Appearance: The swamp rose is a deciduous shrub that can grow up to 2 meters (about 6 feet) tall. It has thorny stems and produces clusters of pink flowers, each with five petals, which bloom in the summer. The flowers are followed by small, red rose hips in the fall.
- Habitat: As its name suggests, the swamp rose thrives in wet, swampy conditions. It is commonly found in the eastern and central United States, from the Great Lakes region down to the Gulf Coast.
- Ecological Role: The swamp rose provides important habitat and food for wildlife. Its flowers attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, while its rose hips are a food source for birds and small mammals.
- Cultivation and Uses: While not as commonly cultivated as some other rose species, the swamp rose can be used in natural landscaping, particularly in wetland restoration projects. It is valued for its ability to stabilize soil and provide habitat in wet areas.
