How does the tundra rose survive in the tundra?

Tundra roses usually grow on hillsides to avoid the harsh winds that the tundra often brings. During the winter they go into a hibernation period- just like trees. Then in the spring they begin to grow leaves and eventually they bloom in the summer. In most tundra climates the summer has sunlight for 16 hours a day. This allows most tundra plants to thrive and take in the energy they need to survive through the winter. There are many bees and butterflies on the tundra that help pollinate the roses.
