Native Wild Roses


From 'What's Doin' the Bloomin' by Clayton and Michelle Oslund:
Several speicies of native wild roses, in a variety of habitats, are abundant in this region. Species differences are subtle, such as the size and shape of the pointed, dried sepals on the hips (fruits). Most have flowers that are vaiations of pink but white or yellow also occur. Flowers range in size less than 1 inch to over 3 inches across. All hav ecompund leaves, but leaflet number varies from 3 to 11.
My thought is that they are just very pretty along side all the roads.
Weather Note: A cool front has brought us back to normal northwoods temperatures. Days are sunny and in the low 70's and the nights are in 40's to 50's. Great camping/cabin weather.
