Wild Prairie Rose June to August
The wild prairie rose is an abundant flower that's easily recognized by prairie dwellers; school children across North Dakota can tell you it is our state flower. The prolific, five-petaled pink flowers bloom on a prickly, shrubby plant growing up to two feet in height. Watch for its scarlet rose hips - rich in vitamin C - to appear late in the summer. With a little work, you can learn how to make tea and jelly from these nutritious fruits.
