Wild Rose

From the Maritimes to the lower mountain valleys of the Rocky Mountains and north to Nunavut, the wild rose (Rosa acicularis) punctutates the Canadian landscape with pink.
Blooming begins in June, but is delayed until July further north. During this time , the small 1 m (3-4ft) shrub displays a profusion of elegant flowers that grow individually or in clusters of two and three. The young buds appear almost red before theyopen to reveal vibrant pink petals with a yellow pollen-bearing stamen at their center. As the petals mature, they gradually fade to white and wil disappear altogheter as the flower sets its fruit  by autumn.
