PROPAGATION Very rarely are native roses offered for sale as plants. One supplier is Wallace W. Hansen's Northwest Native Plants. Native roses do not transplant readily, so it is not wise to dig up native roses from the wild. The rose is not likely to live under these circumstances, and you could be destroying the last of a rare or endangered species. You could try growing the rose from a small cutting, if you can't find the plant commercially, but most varieties propagate readily from seed. The seeds are cold stratified, or wintersown. It may take up to two years to raise the seedling to a flowering plant so patience is required. Here is one method suggested by Albert Ford, editor, of the Maryland Rose Society newsletter. He places the seeds in film cannisters and refrigerates them for the required time, before planting in trays. REFERENCES: KEYS TO LINKS: CNR. California Native Roses.

ROSE HIPS According to Dr. Weil, specialist in alternative medicine, rose hips contain large amounts of vitamin C, and also vitamins A, B-3, D, E, flavinoids, bioflavinoids, citric acid, fructose, malic acid, tannins and zinc. In traditional medicine rose hips were used for treating diarrhea and infections, especially bladder infections. This is Dr. Weil's own recipe for rose hip tea A Preferred Source of Vitamin C? Dr Weil's recipe for rose hip tea: "To make rose-hip tea, wash the hips well, chop them up, cover them with cold water, bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Then, strain the tea and sweeten it if you like. " Rose hips not only provide important nutrients for birds during the winter when there are few other sources of food, but they may have saved a nation. During World War II in England children were bused out to the hedgerows in the country to collect rose hips. According to my British friend, Kathy Bird, England is an island nation and during the German blockade we had nothing, she said. There were no oranges or any fruits that are normally imported from Europe and Spain, so we had to depend on what was available in our own country. The children were paid a small sum for the hips they collected. It was important that they knew they were making a contribution to the survival of the country. The hips were taken to the chemist in town, where they were made into syrup. Everybody used the syrup to keep them healthy. Figure 4 Rosa carolina.

![]() I have R. carolina, find find it easy to grow. Mine is under 3 years old and only a foot tall. It did bloom this year and produced hips. The flowers where a bright pink, but not shockingly so. The hips are turning a nice red color. I tried the hips. The hard seeds were the size of popcorn carnals and the fleshy part waxy. My son said it tasted bitter, I didn't notice a favor.
For humans, the best part of native roses is the fragrance. I got mine from Prairie Moon Nursery.Prairie Moon Nursery :: Seeds :: Rosa carolina (Pasture Rose) |

![]() NeBogger: Thanks for checking out my article. Most 'ditch' roses are in fact escaped European roses. Some are used for grafting hybrid teas because the H.Ts do not have vigorous roots. When the grafts fail the root develops and spreads. Many roses around old house sites are these failed graft roses. Some European roses were so prolific and introduced early that the Indians adopted them as their own - like the Cherokee roses in the South. Some natives are nearly extinct from being displaced by these introduced roses gone wild. And some are gone forever.
