Rosa woodsii, commonly referred to as Woods’ rose, wild rose, or prairie rose, is a perennial shrub negative to much of northern North America. It is in the rose family, Rosaceae. Plants can grow 10 feet (3 meters) tall and form dense thickets. Plants reproduce by seeds, root suckers, and vegetatively by producing roots from branches when the branches touch the ground. Stems are long and straight, covered in thorns like many other rose species. The deciduous leaves are very similar to commonly cultivated rose bushes, consisting of serrated leaflets measuring around 2 inches (2 cm) long. The plant typically flowers from May through July and are composed of clusters and typically show variations of pink for the petal color and are very fragrant. After flowering red fruits called hips form from the ovaries. These fruits are edible and can be eaten raw or cooked and brewed into teas. The fruits have been used as supplements for vitamins and minerals, as well as being used medicinally. R. woodsii prefer full sun to partial shade and well draining, but moist soils.

Rosa woodsii seeds require a period of cold stratification to germinate reliably. Place the seeds into a plastic bag with a moist, but not soaking wet sterile germination medium or paper towel. Place the bag containing the seeds and media into a refrigerator for at least 30 to 60 days before planting. Seeds can be stratified for over a year without issue. Once stratified, plant the seeds ¼ inch (0.6 cm) deep in a sterile, well draining, moist, but not soaking wet potting media. Keep warm, between 70F and 80F (21C and 27C). Germination typically takes 25 to 50 days to occur. Even with optimal germination conditions, seeds may sprout slowly and sporadically.
