Rosa setigera, commonly known as the climbing rose, [2] prairie rose, [1] and climbing wild rose, [3] is a species of shrub or vine in the Rosaceae (rose) family native to central and eastern North America.

Description

R. setigera has trailing or climbing slender stems that grow up to 5 metres (15 ft) long. [4] The plant grows either as a vine or forms a sprawling thicket. [5] In open areas, the stems will arch downward after reaching a height of about 1 metre (3 ft), and where they touch the ground they will root. In areas with vegetation or other structures, the stems will tend to climb. [3] The stems are green or brown with a reddish tint and have curved prickles. [6]

The leaves are alternate and compound, with 3 to 5 leaflets on each leaf. Each leaf is 8–12 centimetres (3.1–4.7 in) long, with leaflets that are 3–5 centimetres (1.2–2.0 in) long and 1.5–4 centimetres (0.6–1.6 in) wide. Leaflets are ovate, with serrate or doubly serrate margins. [6]

The fragrant flowers, blooming May to July, are usually pink, occasionally white, and appear either singly or in groups, or panicles on stalks. Each flower, measuring about 8 centimetres (3 in) wide, has large petals and many stamens. [5] The fruit appears later in the summer as bright red rose hips. [6]

Distribution and habitat

R. setigera is native in the United States from Texas and Nebraska in the west, Wisconsin in the north, New Hampshire in the east, and Florida in the south. It is also native to Ontario and is listed as a species of special concern because of loss of habitat. [1] The plant can be found in areas with average to moist, well-drained soils, including forests and woodlands, roadsides, bluffs, streambanks, old fields, and pastures. [6]

Ecology

The flowers bloom in the spring to summer, with rose hips following later in the summer. Bees pollinate the flowers, and various other insects feed on the plant. Birds and mammals eat the hips. [3] R. setigera is the larval host for several species of moths, including Paleacrita vernata (spring cankerworm), Stigmella rosaefoliella , and Coptotriche roseticola . [7]

<i>Toxicodendron radicans</i> Species of plant

Toxicodendron radicans, commonly known as eastern poison ivy or poison ivy, is an allergenic Asian and Eastern North American flowering plant in the genus Toxicodendron. The species is well known for causing urushiol-induced contact dermatitis, an itchy, irritating, and sometimes painful rash, in most people who touch it. The rash is caused by urushiol, a clear liquid compound in the plant's sap. The species is variable in its appearance and habit, and despite its common name, it is not a true ivy (Hedera), but rather a member of the cashew and pistachio family (Anacardiaceae). T. radicans is commonly eaten by many animals and the seeds are consumed by birds, but poison ivy is most often thought of as an unwelcome weed. It is a different species from western poison ivy, T. rydbergii, which has similar effects.

<i>Pueraria montana</i> Species of legume

Pueraria montana is a species of plant in the botanical family Fabaceae. At least three sub-species are known. It is closely related to other species in the genus Pueraria and the common name kudzu is used for all of these species and hybrids between them. The morphological differences between them are subtle, they can breed with each other, and it appears that introduced kudzu populations in the United States have ancestry from more than one of the species.
