I have a sucker which has foliage like r.arkensas but it is a bit more blunt tipped and a define gray/red color. small bristles. still waiting for the blooms.   Fara Shimbo (Fara_shimbo) Shovel Pruner Username: Fara Shimbo Post Number: 69 Registered: 04-2006 Posted on Wednesday, May 24, 2006 - 07:04 am:    Looks like Rosa woodsii, or some subspecies thereof. The flowers are very variable in color on the ones we have here, though not generally on the same plant.   alida ray (Altora) Bug Squisher Username: altora Post Number: 94 Registered: 10-2005 Posted on Friday, May 12, 2006 - 09:48 pm:    a wild rose, with dk pink and white blooms. link http://www.visitsublettecounty.com/photogallery/WildflowersTrees/WildRoses.htm
