Abstract
Bitterbrush and cliff rose are perhaps the most widely managed shrubs in Western North America. This proceedings of 27 papers is a collection of our current knowledge on research and management of bitterbrush, cliffrose, and other rosaceous shrubs in Western North America. Subjects include: (1) distribution, taxonomy, and habitat classification; (2) growth performance, phenology, and physiology; (3) successional relationships; (4) management strategies; (5) animal relationships; (6) soil-plant nutrient relationships; and (7) fire relationships.
