Oenothera rosea, also known as rosy evening-primrose, rose evening primrose, pink evening primrose, or Rose of Mexico, is an invasive species of flowering plant in the family Onagraceae. It is native to the Americas but can also be found as an introduced species in several regions of the world. It can spread quickly across yards and fields, and removal takes years of sustained effort.
