Discussion
Subspecies ultramontana occurs from the northern Rocky Mountains and Wasatch Front across the northern Great Basin and Columbia Plateau to the Sierra-Cascade axis, most often in full sun near water. Plants are relatively tall and open, generally with sparse, erect prickles.
Achene extracts of subsp. ultramontana exhibited strong antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, which were greater than such activities from Rosa nutkana hip extracts. Extracts from both were strongly active, the first roses from British Columbia known to express such activities (O. Yi et al. 2007).
