Taxonomic Comments
FNA (vol. 9, 2014) recognizes 3 distinct subspecies in Rosa nutkana (nutkana, macdougalii, and melina). FNA recognizes R. nutkana var. hispida as R. nutkana ssp. macdougalii and expands the concept of R. nutkana ssp. nutkana (= R. nutkana var. nutkana) to include R. nutkana var. muriculata and R. nutkana var. setosa, while Kartesz (1994) treats them as distinct. R. nutkana ssp. melina was newly described in 2007 and is endemic to high elevations of the Rocky Mountains Biogeographic Province. It is unclear whether R. nutkana ssp. melina is split from R. nutkana ssp. macdougalii.
