Woods Rose (Rosa gymnocarpa), also known as Baldhip Rose, is a native rose species to western North America. The pink or white fragrant flowers are flat and open-faced with five petals in most any shade of pink. Its fruit is a red rose hip containing hard tan achenes that contain the seeds. The sepals fall away from the hip earlier than in other species of rose, hence the name Baldhip Rose. The leaves are ovular in shape and are toothed on the edges.
Wood Rose is found from southern British Columbia to the southern California coast in the west, to northern Idaho and western Montana in the east.
Sowing seeds in autumn in an outdoor cold frame yields the best results; seeds may take 2 years to germinate; scarifying may speed the process. Stored seeds have a hard seed coat and require a cold moist stratification period of 90 days to improve germination.
Seedlings should be moved to a lathe house or other structure in the spring and grown for one year to develop an adequate root system before transplanting.
Propagated plants should be hardened off for 2-4 weeks prior to transplanting in their permanent location.
