The Thornless Dog Brier Rose, also known as Dog Rose or Thornless Dog Rose, is a unique rose variety scientifically named Rosa Canina Inermis. This plant is cherished for its striking cotton candy pink blooms that appear from June to July. With a hardiness suitable for zones 3 through 9, the plant reaches a height of 7 to 9 feet and should be spaced 4 to 6 feet apart.
The roses thrive in full sun to partial shade and prefer soil conditions that range from average to moist. Each package contains 50 seeds, making it ideal for gardeners looking to cultivate multiple plants.
The Thornless Dog Brier Rose is a thornless variety, making it a more manageable addition to gardens. It is characterized by its large 2 1/2 inch fragrant flowers which grow in clusters, attracting bees and butterflies, while birds enjoy the red rose hips that persist from summer to fall.
In addition to their beauty in the garden, these roses are excellent for cutting and can remain fresh for up to two weeks. They are also favored for dried flower arrangements. Historically significant, these roses were commonly planted in Victory Gardens during WWII and have been used in rose cultivation and traditional herbal remedies for generations. The versatile plant can adapt to a range of soil types including sandy and heavy clay, and is effective for erosion control.
