Rosa nitida
Also called New England Rose, Northeastern Rose
Rosa nitida, also known as shining rose due to its glossy leaves (nitidus is Latin for 'shining'), is a perennial shrub in the rose family Rosaceae native to northeastern North America.
Rosa nitida is very hardy, tolerating temperatures as low as −40 °C (−40 °F), and will grow in a wide variety of soil conditions, including soils which are poor, acidic and waterlogged. In the wild it grows in bogs and by the edges of ponds. In the garden it is admired for its good leaf coloration in the fall.
