Native to Illinois this Wild Rose (Rosa blanda) has smooth single-layer petals. This popular “wild” flower is used often in home and public gardens. I used to have a shrub of Wild Rose alongside our garage. Copyright 2026 Pamela BreitbergBlooming in sequence, the beautiful, fragrant Wild Rose seems to bloom all season. These graced the Caldwell Lily Pond in Lincoln Park. Copyright 2026 Pamela BreitbergAs one bloom finishes its bloomtime another is forming. Copyright 2026 Pamela Breitberg
