Swamp Rose (Rosa palustris)
Swamp rose (Rosa palustris) was amongst the many plants that were added to the botanical list during the SUNY College Lodge BioBlitz that took place this past weekend. This rose species is a native perennial shrub that doesn’t mind the sun or getting its feet wet. It frequents swamp and marsh edges and was appropriately found along the large swamp on the property in a bright, sunny spot. We were happy to find this native rose as the non-native multiflora rose has been taking over in many places. As the week continues, check back with us for more photos, videos and new discoveries made...

At the end of 24 hours we have tallied 510+ species at the SUNY College Lodge BioBlitz with many yet to be identified and added to the count. We hope to be able to crack at least 600 despite a rainy last 10 or so hours. That’s a lot of life for 200 acres! Thank you to all the experts who came from near and far to help us out and the visitors who joined us on walks and enjoyed what we were collecting. We’ll share photos and cool species over the coming days.
