The dog rose is a variable climbing, wild rose that is native to Britain. It is a very vigorous climbing plant that can be found growing wild in hedgerows and woodlands.
It is a fast grower that produces flowers in a variety of colours ranging from pale pink, deep pink and white.
In autumn the flowers die back leaving red-orange rose hips, which are very high in vitamin C. The rose hips can be used to make syrup, tea and marmalade.
