  • Beach Rose, also called Virginia Rose, Rosa virginiana, is a native Maine wildflower. indigenous, nature, wildflower, Maine, Virginia rose is a native shrub, growing 2 to 6 feet high, with many spreading branches, thorny stems, and attractive flowers. The dark green, toothed leaves turn purplish-red in the fall. The fragrant 2- to 3-inch diameter flowers are pink with yellow centers and bloom from June through August. Many insects that visit the rose blooms for nectar help pollinate the flowers that later become rose hips. The ½-inch-wide rose hips stay on the plant through winter, are edible, are high in Vitamin C and essential fatty acids, are a good food source for many animals, and can be used to make teas and medicines. Virginia rose prefers full sun and well-drained, acidic soil (but can also survive in moist soils). Virginia rose is easy to transplant and grow, is tolerant of salt, and does well under winter conditions, making it a good specimen for seaside planting. The thicket-forming character provides a great hedge and good cover for birds and other animals. , For a list of protected and endangered wildflowers in Maine see <a href="http://plants.usda.gov/java/threat">http://plants.usda.gov/java/threat</a> Wildflowers should be left undisturbed where they are found.
