Common Name: Nootka Rose

I'm going with the JEPSON and E-FLORA BC designation of just two varieties.

Note: var. nootka has double (one larger than other) toothed leaflets (3-7 per group) found mainly west of the Cascades. Large single flower, stem is sometimes black. Generally two thorns at base of leaf.
