30 Rosa palustris Swamp Rose Seeds Native Flowering Shrub

Rosa palustris, commonly known as Swamp Rose, is a native North American flowering shrub valued for its delicate single pink blossoms and graceful arching habit. It brings a natural, wild-garden charm to pond edges, rain gardens, and moist borders, attracting pollinators while adding season-long interest with colorful fall foliage and ornamental hips.

This rose works beautifully in native plantings, wetland margins, and informal landscape beds where its spreading form can naturalize over time.
