In British Columbia rose spirea is found in rush (Juncus spp.)-sedge (Carex spp.)-quillwort (Isoetes spp.) and shrub carr community types [8,18]. Common associates include Rocky Mountain maple (Acer glabrum), Sitka willow (Salix sitchensis), salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis), salal (Gaultheria shallon), sweet gale (Myrica gale), and bog rush (Juncus effusus) [2,28]. In Washington a rose spirea-bog blueberry (Vaccinium uliginosum)/sedge community type is described. Common associates include swordleaf rush (Juncus ensifolius), blister sedge (Carex vesicaria), Sitka sedge (C. sitchensis), slough sedge (C. obnupta), common willowweed (Epilobium glandulosum), and kneeling angelica (Angelica genuflexa) [19]. Rose spirea is also a member of a field horsetail (Equisetum arvense)-skunkcabbage (Veratrum californicum) swamp association. Associates include Sitka alder (Alnus viridis ssp. sinuata), black twinberry (Lonicera involucrata), and red-osier dogwood (Cornus sericea) [16]. Associates of rose spirea in Washington and Oregon forest communities include dwarf huckleberry (Vaccinium caespitosum), blue wildrye (Elymus glaucus), deer fern (Blechnum spicant), bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum), western yarrow (Achillea millefolium), widefruit sedge (Carex eurycarpa), Wood's rose (Rosa woodsii), and bristly black currant (Ribes lacustre) [12,29,30]. In California rose spirea occurs in sphagnum bog, north coast riparian scrub, and freshwater marsh communities [23,44]. Common associates include bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum), Pacific wax-myrtle (Myrica californica), Hooker willow (Salix hookeriana), Hinds willow (S. hindsiana), sedge (Carex spp.), bear sedge (C. arcta), round-leaved sundew (Drosera rotundifolia), and coast Labrador tea (Ledum glandulosum var. columbiana) [23,44]. In eastern Idaho and western Montana, rose spirea is dominant in herbaceous wetland communities [41,42]. In Montana a rose spirea community type has been described [4,17]. Rose spirea is dominant in a thinleaf alder community type [4]. Common associates in Montana include Booth willow (Salix boothii), Geyer willow (S. geyeriana), Wood's rose, western polemonium (Polemonium occidentale), beaked sedge (Carex rostrata), inflated sedge (C. vesicaria), reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea), and creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) [4,17].

MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS

SPECIES: Spiraea douglasii
IMPORTANCE TO LIVESTOCK AND WILDLIFE : Rose spirea has limited value as livestock forage because of typically dense stands, high water tables, and scarcity of palatable grasses [4,17]. It is sometimes eaten by livestock in the summer and fall [4,17]. In western Washington and Oregon rose spirea is browsed by black-tailed deer [5,8]. PALATABILITY : In Oregon rose spirea has a low palatability rating [29]. NUTRITIONAL VALUE : NO-ENTRY COVER VALUE : In Washington a breeding population of long-billed marsh wrens was found nesting in a rose spirea emergent shrub community type [52]. In British Columbia rose spirea is a component of the western hemlock-Sitka spruce habitat type which is important grizzly bear habitat [2]. In Oregon quaking aspen-lodgepole pine/rose spirea/widefruit sedge and lodgepole pine/rose spirea/widefruit sedge habitat types are utilized by livestock for bedding and shade. These two habitat types are also important to deer, elk, and raptors [29]. VALUE FOR REHABILITATION OF DISTURBED SITES : Carlson [6] recommends rose spirea for riparian revegetation programs in the Pacific Northwest. In a black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) riparian community, rose spirea seedlings were planted in the fall of 1980 and had a 27 percent survival rate. In 1988 percent cover of rose spirea had increased [6]. In Oregon rose spirea was propagated as in situ hardwood cuttings (collected and planted on-site the same day) in a Pacific silver fir (Abies amabilis) community [48]. OTHER USES AND VALUES : NO-ENTRY OTHER MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS : In Oregon rose spirea is sensitive to trampling and soil compaction [4,32]. The riparian lodgepole pine/rose spirea/forb association has been overgrazed in Oregon. Rose spirea may be eliminated with continued overuse [29].

BOTANICAL AND ECOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

SPECIES: Spiraea douglasii
GENERAL BOTANICAL CHARACTERISTICS : Rose spirea is a rhizomatous, deciduous shrub with erect, spreading stems 3 to 6 feet (1-1.8 m) tall [17,35,40]. Leaves are 1 to 4 inches (3-10 cm) long [20,35]. Seeds are 0.08 inch (2 mm) long [40]. Rosespirea forms adventitious roots after burial [1]. RAUNKIAER LIFE FORM : Phanerophyte REGENERATION PROCESSES : Rose spirea is a rhizomatous shrub that often forms dense colonies [1,4,32]. It will sprout from the stem base and root crown following disturbance [4,29]. In Washington following the May 18, 1980 volcanic eruption of Mount St. Helens, rose spirea showed extensive rhizome development in the tephra (volcanic aerial ejecta) and contained one to five adventitious roots per centimeter of stem 1 year after burial. Maximum adventitious root length of rose spirea was 3.6 inches (9 cm) [1]. Rose spirea produces small seeds that are probably dispersed via animals and strong winds [40]. SITE CHARACTERISTICS : Rose spirea occurs in riparian areas including wet meadows, floodplains, terraces, bogs, swamps, and along streams, rivers, lakes, springs, and ponds [4,12,17,23,24]. Rose spirea grows best on moist to semiwet soils with good drainage [20,28,29,32,35]. It grows best on loam and sandy loam soils, but occurs on silty clay, clay loam, and gravelly substrates as well [17,19,23,29,42]. Rose spirea is tolerant of permanently water-logged soils (peat) and widely fluctuating water tables [23,28]. Elevations for rose spirea are as follows: feet meters California 4,620-6,435 1,400-1,950 [20,46] Montana 3,760-6,700 1,147-2,044 [4,35] Oregon 2,200-5,800 660-1,740 [29] Washington 2,500-5,000 750-1,500 [19] SUCCESSIONAL STATUS : Rose spirea occurs mostly in seral communities [2,4,7,27,37]. It is generally shade intolerant [28], but horticultural specimens have been described as shade tolerant [11,20]. In British Columbia rose spirea is a pioneer species in disclimax communities maintained by avalanches [2]. In southwestern British Columbia and northwestern Washington, rose spirea is a pioneer species on clearcut sites [27,37]. In northwestern Montana a rose spirea community type may be seral to an as yet undefined thinleaf alder/rose spirea habitat type [4]. Rose spirea often forms dense impenetrable thickets in riparian areas [4]. In Washington rose spirea usually occurs in mosaics with other hydric and mesic non-forest species in riparian forest openings [19]. SEASONAL DEVELOPMENT : In California rose spirea flowers from June to September [40].

FIRE ECOLOGY

SPECIES: Spiraea douglasii
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : Rose spirea is moderately resistant to fire [32] and sprouts readily from the stem base and rhizomes after fire [4,17,29,32]. In presettlement times, wildfires were "probably common" in rose spirea communities of riparian areas in Montana and Oregon; soils were usually dry by mid-summer, allowing fires from adjacent uplands to encroach upon the stand [17,29]. Fires were probably infrequent in the thinleaf alder-rose spirea association in Oregon [29]. POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : Small shrub, adventitious-bud root crown Rhizomatous shrub, rhizome in soil FIRE REGIMES : Find fire regime information for the plant communities in which this species may occur by entering the species name in the FEIS home page under "Find Fire Regimes".

FIRE EFFECTS

SPECIES: Spiraea douglasii
IMMEDIATE FIRE EFFECT ON PLANT : Rose spirea is probably topkilled by most fires and killed by severe fires. PLANT RESPONSE TO FIRE : The literature contains few reports describing rose spirea after fire. Because of its sprouting ability, it probably survives most fires. In central British Columbia rose spirea was present with shinyleaf spirea (Spiraea betulifolia var. lucida) in seral Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii)-fir (Abies spp.) stands. Relative density of the Spiraea spp. in plots 4 to 22 years after fire was 4 percent; in plots 37 to 75 years after fire, it was 9 percent [13]. In British Columbia McMinn [38] studied a site in a western hemlock/Sitka spruce forest burned in 1861 and again in 1931. By 1948 rose spirea had formed dense thickets with salmonberry and thimbleberry. FIRE MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS : NO-ENTRY
