Rosa californica, or the California wild rose, is a beautiful native plant that will add a naturalistic charm to any yard. With vibrant pink flowers in summer and crimson red hips in fall, Rosa californica is a showstopping species that will prove popular with pollinator visitors.
Most gardeners would agree that traditional shrub, climbing or rambling roses require a fair amount of attention, including watering and feeding during the spring and summer. Rosa californica, however, as a hardy native species, is a low-maintenance option and once established is remarkably easy to care for.
