Wild roses are one of the first flowers to bloom in interior Alaska. The bloom in great numbers and don’t last nearly long enough. When the petals fall they leave behind rose-hips that fatten and turn from green to bright red and then dark maroon. Watching their transformation throughout the summer reminds you that summer won’t last forever and you need to enjoy it while it lasts!
