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