Abstract
pollinators than non-native cultivars with double flowers (Mader et al., 2011). Wildlife: Nootka rose fruits (hips) remain on the plant throughout the winter, and are eaten by small mammals, birds and insects. Rosa species are important browse for Rocky Mountain elk in summer, but the use is lower in fall and winter (Kufeld, 1973). Deer also browse leaves and young shoots (Parish et al., 1996). Livestock: Livestock browse Nootka rose leaves and young shoots (Parish et al., 1996). Ethnobotanical: Native Americans throughout the Pacific Northwest and Rocky Mountain region used Nootka rose as food, medicine, and for ceremonial purposes (Moerman, 2012). Hips of all wild roses are high in vitamin C and are made into jams, jellies, syrups and teas. Revegetation: Nootka rose produces extensive rhizomes and grows rapidly, making it an ideal plant for revegetation projects. It is used to control soil erosion on hillsides, road cuts and streambanks.
