# How to Prune Rosa palustris
Perennial swamp rose, Rosa palustris, loves a wetter-than-normal environment more than other bush roses. The large, pink blossoms appear once a year in June and July. This rose shrub can reach a height of up to 7 feet, and has curved thorns instead of straight ones like other roses. The swamp rose is low maintenance, needing only minimal pruning to keep it healthy and looking good.
