The Prairie Rose Symbolism & Cultivation

Wild Prairie Rose is the state flower of the U.S. states of Iowa and North Dakota. In Iowa, convention states the species is Rosa pratincola (currently treated as a synonym of Rosa arkansana). North Dakota, on the other hand, specifies either Rosa arkansana or Rosa blanda. Alberta's "wild rose" is Rosa acicularis.

It is grown as an ornamental plant, and has become naturalized in parts of Massachusetts, New York, and North Dakota.
