Description
Closeup image of single beautiful Cherokee rose blooming in Rose Garden at Julia Davis Park in Boise, Idaho, USA. It was end of September and storm was rolled into Boise. It rained all night and next day morning it was overcast but no rain that is when I decided to do some floral photography to capture the natural beauty of these roses. I created several images of various beautiful roses and this image is one among them. Cherokee Rose is a native of southern China and Taiwan, and was introduced early to North America and has now become thoroughly established here. It was first botanically described from a specimen growing in Georgia, and is that states official flower. The Cherokee Rose is a mounding bush to about 5 feet, or a thickly foliaged climber to 15 feet with neat, apple-green leaves. In the spring, fragrant, pure white, 5-petaled flowers appear and cleanly drop their petals to disclose star-shaped sepals. It is one of the best for naturalizing in the South, since it does not sucker (unlike the Macartney Rose, with which it is often confused) and offers an outstanding floral display in return for very little care.
