  • Posted by Bonehead (Planet Earth - Zone 8b) on Sep 21, 2014 10:30 AM concerning plant:
    Native in the Pacific NW, from Alaska to California, and east to Colorado and Utah. Found in open places (roadsides, meadows, stream sides). The hips are large and purplish-red. The young spring shoots are edible in a pinch. The leaves may be crushed and applied to bee stings, or boiled and used as a poultice for sore eyes. This plant is similar to Rose (Rosa pisocarpa) (also native in the PNW) which is a clustered rose, while R. nutkana is borne singly at the ends of branch tips.
