|discussion=<p>Subspecies melina [6x (DNA)] is endemic to high elevations of the Rocky Mountains Biogeographic Province, where it is often associated with <i>Populus tremuloides</i> Michaux. Curved prickles, glandular sepals, and 2- or 3-serrate leaflets help distinguish <i></i>subsp.<i> melina</i> where it overlaps with <i></i>subsp.<i> macdougalii</i> in southeastern Idaho and northern Utah. Significant distributional overlap occurs also with <i>Rosa woodsii </i>subsp.<i> manca</i>, which can occur in mixed or adjacent populations. Subspecies melina is generally at higher elevations, flowers somewhat earlier than <i></i>subsp.<i> manca</i>, and is hexaploid (the latter is diploid).</p>
