| R. setigera The Detroit Rose Socity chose Rosa setigera as its official logo. Also known as the Michigan Rose and the Prarie Rose, settlers would have found it brightening the landscape of southeastern Michigan and Essex County, Ontario when it bloomed above thickets in the summer. This tall arching rose has blooms that range in shade from almost white to dark pink. It is seldom cultivated in modern gardens and it's natural habitat is being lost to urban sprawl. Even though it is very hardy and relatively disease resistant, modern hybrid roses have offered more in terms of repeat blooms, longer lasting blooms and less suckering. Like R. setigera, the Detroit Rose Society remains hardy and its members dot the southeastern Michigan and Ontario, Canada landscape with colorful rose gardens. D. M. Schrift |
