Woods' Rose

Rosa woodsii
In the United States: Native · also called Interior rose

Single-petaled fragrant pink flowers provide accessible pollen for honey bees and other pollinators; the primary reward is pollen rather than nectar. Blooms late spring into summer on a deciduous thicket-forming shrub that also produces persistent red hips.
