Common Wild Rose vs Western SnowberryRosa woodsii Symphoricarpus occidentalis SOLD OUT (new stock expected: fall of 2020) NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON (new stock expected: fall of 2020) 
Common Wild Rose produces attractive pink roses and edible bright red rosehips. This tough, native shrub is a beautiful, low-maintenance addition to any garden. Common Wild Rose is very similar to Alberta (Prickly) Wild Rose but with fewer thorns.
Like the Common Snowberry, the Western Snowberry is a small shrub with pink flowers useful for feeding livestock and preventing erosion. Unlike the common species, however, the Western Snowberry is much more suited to wet conditions, capable of persevering through poor soil drainage and occasional flooding.
