Dog Rose (Rosa canina) Rosaceae (woody)

 Tree  Rosaceae (woody) 

Flower 26/6/13

* might be a garden escape 

Not to be confused with: the many species of wild rose found in the UK which are all very similar and difficult to identify. Roses are also commonly planted in gardens and some of these have escaped into the wild. One of these similar species is Rosa rugosa which flowers earlier than dog rose. Another is harsh downy rose (Rosa tomentosa), which has hairy leaves and fruit and straight prickles.
