Wood's Rose is the most widespread native rose in western North America, forming thickets on streambanks, forest edges, and open slopes from the Rockies to the Pacific coast. Its pink flowers attract many native bees, and its red hips are an important food for bears, coyotes, and many birds. The hips are exceptionally high in vitamin C.
