|discussion=<p>As here circumscribed, <i>Rosa bridgesii</i> is the Sierran-Cascade counterpart of <i>R. spithamea</i>, encompassing previous references to <i>R. pinetorum</i> and <i>R. spithamea</i> from the Sierra <i>Nevada</i> and most applications of R. yainacensis. The species is the low-growing, openly rhizomatous rose of midmontane forests in the Sierra <i>Nevada</i> and southern Cascade Range of California and Oregon. Finely puberulent leaflets help distinguish non-fruiting <i>R. bridgesii</i> from sympatric <i>R. gymnocarpa</i>, which has glabrous leaflets. Plants from Oregon differ from Sierran plants in that prickles are less likely to be infrastipular only.</p><!--
--><p>In the phylogenetic analysis by A. Bruneau et al. (2007), <i>Rosa bridgesii</i> and <i>R. spithamea</i> comprise a distinct clade more closely related to Asian species than to others from western North America.</p><!--
--><p><i>Rosa bridgesii</i> has been conserved against R. calvaria Greene, R. covillei Greene, <i>R. crenulata</i> Greene, R. myriadenia Greene, and R. yainacensis Greene (B. Ertter 2007b). Only R. calvaria and <i>R. crenulata</i> are unambiguous synonyms of <i>R. bridgesii</i>; the taxonomic identity of the other names remains unresolved and may involve hybridization with other species.</p><!--
--><p>On the basis of pollen size, E. W. Erlanson (1931) believed that material falling within the current circumscription of <i>Rosa bridgesii</i> was tetraploid (2n = 28). In a subsequent paper (1934), she reported a diploid somatic count (2n = 14) for R. calvaria, a synonym of <i>R. bridgesii</i>. Recent flow cytometry indicates a tetraploid condition for the sampled specimen of <i>R. bridgesii</i> (A. Bruneau et al., unpubl. data). It is possible that both ploidy levels are present within the species.</p>
