Rosa
laevigata ~ Cherokee Rose |
| Rosa laevigata came to
America around 1780. The native range of Rosa laevigata is from
China south through Vietnam. The Cherokee Rose's beauty has captured
almost as many as its thorns. Rosa laevigata has become the Georgia
state flower. The Cherokee Rose became symbolic with the plight of
the Cherokee's during thier forced march out of the South. Rosa
laevigata is a large rambunctious plant, sprawling and sending arching
canes in every direction. Plants grow to 6 feet tall and almost as
wide as you will let them. Rosa laevigata primarily blooms in the
Spring but repeats in the Fall if conditions are reasonable.
