Blue Jay
Handsome Fellow

Rosa glauca
Once known as Rosa rubrifolia … the flowers only appear for about a week but the hips at the end of the year are enormous.
R. glauca is a species rose, which is to say that the variety is unchanged from its original form in the wild. It is native to Europe and thrives in mountainous regions and in climates as frigid as Zone 2
