Rosa carolina is a woody native shrub from the Rosaceae family with fine-textured, deciduous foliage and an erect growth habit. Historically used medicinally by Native Americans, its edible flowers and hips are versatile in culinary uses. The Carolina Rose is valuable for wildlife, offering year-round cover and food for birds, mammals, and pollinators, while its leaves and stems provide browsing for deer and elk. It propagates well from root cuttings, stem cuttings, or seeds, and thrives in full sun to partial shade.
