Rosa virginiana, commonly known as the Virginia rose, [2] common wild rose or prairie rose, is a woody perennial in the rose family native to eastern North America, where it is the most common wild rose. [3] It is deciduous, forming a suckering shrub up to 2 metres in height, though often less. The stems are covered in numerous hooked prickles.
Rosa acicularis is a deciduous shrub growing 1–3 m tall. The leaves are pinnate, 7–14 cm long, with three to seven leaflets. The leaflets are ovate, with serrate (toothed) margins. The flowers are pink (rarely white), 3.5–5 cm diameter; the hips are red, pear-shaped to ovoid, 10–15 mm diameter. Its native habitats include thickets ...
Rosa setigera, commonly known as the climbing rose, [2] prairie rose, [1] and climbing wild rose, [3] is a species of shrub or vine in the Rosaceae (rose) family native to central and eastern North America.
Bottle palm has a large swollen (sometimes bizarrely so) trunk. It is a myth that the trunk is a means by which the palm stores water. Bottle palms have only four to six leaves open at any time. The leaves of young palms have a red or orange tint, but a deep green is assumed at maturity. The flowers of the palm arise from under the crownshaft.
Spiraea virginiana is a rare species of flowering plant in the rose family (Rosaceae) known by the common names Virginia meadowsweet [4] and Virginia spiraea. It is native to the southern Appalachian Mountains, where it has a distribution scattered across nine states. However, most populations are very small and poor in quality.
The hybridization potential of P. virginiana has also been studied. One such study found that the P. virginiana population was decreasing in an area as a hybrid of P. virginiana and Physalis heterophylla. The researchers believed that the increased hybridization of P. virginiana is possibly due to scarcity of P. virginiana pollen. Another ...
The leaves are 3–10 centimetres (1.2–3.9 in) long, with usually three leaflets, sometimes five leaflets, bright glossy green and glabrous. The flowers are 6–10 centimetres (2.4–3.9 in) diameter, fragrant, with pure white petals and yellow stamens , and are followed by bright red and bristly hips 2–4 centimetres (0.79–1.57 in) diameter.
Leaves: The leaves of Rosa minutifolia are the smallest of the genus Rosa, [2] with the terminal leaflets measuring 3-6mm long and wide. Leaves are round, widest near the middle, tip shape to obtuse, with toothed margins about halfway to the midvein, glandless. The leaf axil is finely short-hairy and sparsely glandular. Leaflets are hairy and ...
