This deciduous shrub typically grows 3 to 6 feet tall and wide, forming a dense, rounded habit that works well in rain gardens, pond edges, and other moist landscape areas. In late spring to summer, it produces fragrant, single pink blooms with yellow centers that attract pollinators and later develop into red rose hips enjoyed by wildlife.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSwamp Rose is an excellent choice for naturalized plantings, native plant gardens, and erosion control along streams or drainage areas. Its tolerance for wet conditions and its wildlife value make it a functional and attractive addition to challenging sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNative North American shrub rose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFragrant single pink flowers with yellow centers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTolerates wet and poorly drained soils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduces red rose hips that attract birds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDense, rounded growth habit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosa palustris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deciduous shrub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist to wet, well-drained to poorly drained\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate to high; prefers consistently moist soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, rounded shrub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late spring to summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-6 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-5 feet apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo grow Swamp Rose from seeds, start indoors in late winter or sow directly outdoors in fall. For indoor sowing, scarify seeds by nicking the seed coat or soaking in warm water for 24 hours, then cold stratify for 60-90 days in the refrigerator before sowing. Sow seeds about 1\/4 inch deep in a moist seed-starting mix, keep at 65-75°F, and maintain even moisture. Germination can be slow and uneven, often taking several weeks to months. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow on until large enough to set out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a planting site with full sun to partial shade and moist to wet soil. Water regularly during establishment and during dry spells. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Prune lightly as needed to maintain shape and remove dead wood. Swamp Rose is generally low-maintenance once established.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e30 Rosa palustris (Swamp Rose) seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67835991032118,"sku":"FOLIA2-1584","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7558988329_ljj7.jpg?v=1793096958","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/rosa-palustris-swamp-rose-seeds-30-native-pink-flowering-shrub-seeds","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
