About this seed
Why gardeners choose this variety
Cherokee rose has a cultural history that differs from what its common name may suggest. Rosa laevigata is native to parts of Asia and was brought to North America during the colonial period, where it was cultivated by the Cherokee. Its name reflects that adopted history rather than a North American botanical origin.
The plant is a vigorous, prickly climber or sprawling shrub with single white flowers. It can illustrate the movement of ornamental plants between cultures, but its eventual size and tendency to scramble need to be considered carefully. Grow it in a managed setting appropriate to local conditions, with substantial support where needed. A small seedling should not be mistaken for a compact rose suitable for every border.
