{"product_id":"nootka-rose-rosa-nutkana","title":"Nootka Rose (Rosa nutkana)","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eNootka rose is a tall, upright shrub with large, pleasantly fragrant pink flowers that are attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. The flowers and fruits (rosehips) are the largest of our native rose species. The rosehips ripen in early fall and persist into winter, providing \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ewinter interest in the garden and a valuable food source for birds and other wildlife. The rosehips are also edible to humans and can be eaten fresh (remove the seeds first), or made into a tea that is high in vitamin C. This shrub is easy to grow and adaptable to a wide range of conditions. It is rhizomatous and can spread over time to create thorny thickets that may not be suitable for small gardens, but are great for bird and wildlife habitat, hedgerows, and wilder areas of the garden. The roots of nootka rose are useful for stabilizing soils along streambanks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSun Exposure:\u003c\/b\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Moisture: \u003c\/b\u003eMoist to seasonally dry, humus-rich soil. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/b\u003e Up to 10' tall, rhizomatous\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBloom Time: \u003c\/b\u003eLate spring to early summer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdible: \u003c\/b\u003eYes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWildlife Value: \u003c\/b\u003eAttracts beneficial insects, bees, and other pollinators.
