Wild Prairie Rose (
Rosa arkansana) lives in open dry sandy soiled prairies. It reproduces by a round berry-like fruit called a rose hips, or underground through rhizomes. It can be many colors from white to dark pink and anywhere in between. It's a beautiful ground dwelling flower! It's also Iowa's state flower. This picture was taken at Neal Smith Wildlife Refuge; a fantastic place to visit!
