Wild Rose Bushes
Just a few steps from the Rivière-aux-Cerises Marsh Interpretation Centre, you’ll find an expansive and fragrant wild rose hedge bordering the walking trail. From June to August, beautiful pink blooms embellish this small woodland, which serves as a haven for red squirrels and wood frogs. Small birds—chickadees, warblers and goldfinches—are also plentiful, showing off their colourful, shimmering plumage. The intoxicating scent of the wild flowers, with their delicate fruity notes, is what attracts pollinators and butterflies. Teeming with life, the spot is defined by a soft, fresh, rosy scent. Like the passage in “The Little Prince” by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, you’ll want to go and look again at the roses, to breathe in all beauty made possible by a precious moment of reflection.
