Also known as Pasture Rose or Low Rose.

Carolina Rose is a low-growing, thicket-forming rose with fragrant pink flowers in late spring and early summer. It produces red rose hips in fall that persist through winter, providing food for wildlife. It is adaptable to a range of soils, including clay, and is drought tolerant once established. Carolina Rose spreads by suckers to form dense colonies and works well as a natural hedge or wildlife planting.
