The roses that grow the most abundant and fruitful are the Rosa blanda and the Rosa Engelmanni. The latter has a large fruit about two and one-half times long as broad, is rather juicy and of a flavor much like the thorn apple [Crataegus coccinea]. The rose hips of both species are eaten readily by the prairie chicken, grouse, antelope and rabbit, the indian also comes in for his share. I have seen this fruit in such quantities over large areas that it would have furnished food for hundreds of sheep.

The beauty of rosa blanda is that you don't have to do anything to it. Dead heading will not make a normally once blooming rose repeat. It will also stop any rose hips from forming.
