Smooth Rose is a summer flowering shrub with large 2-3 inch fragrant pink blooms. The new stems on this species are thornless or nearly thornless. The stems can also add winter interest as they are usually red colored in the winter.

The flowers are loved by pollinators for their nectar and pollen, while fruits are eaten by birds and mammals. The dense foliage gives good cover for wildlife and nesting spots for birds.

This is an easy to grow shrub that will handle dry conditions once established. Like most roses, Smooth Rose spreads by suckering and can form sizable colonies. Roses take to pruning very well and size can be controlled with maintenance.
