Is being replaced  by S. lancifolia in Louisiana where there is salt water intrusion into wetlands.  Apparently much less salt tolerant that S. lancifolia. Use in water gardens or as an emergent along pond edges.

Sometimes difficult to establish in new areas, but definitely worth the effort. Wildflower garden, meadow.

Tolerates winter flooding. This is a wetland plant. It is rarely grown, but it has potential in appropriate sites. Wet wildflower garden. For appearance, cut back to the ground in winter.

Moist wildflower garden. Wetland garden. Plant in full sun and give it plenty of room and plant behind shorter plants.

Shady settings. Interesting for its green twigs and red warty fruits. In good habitats it can form dense clones.

Information on salt tolerance comes from northern nurseries in areas where the biggest issue is likely to be salt used for deicing roadsides. This native rose is generally not susceptible to the disease and insect pests that attack many of the hybrid roses. It's a shrub; plant where its thorns will not be an issue.

Specimen plant, screen plantings, sometimes with unusual or weeping form.
