Hi all,
My friend has a flower growing in his garden that he didn't put there. He was wondering what it is. My best guess was 'some kind of rose?' Can anyone here be more specific please?
Btw he's in Britain.

It might be a species of wild rose. It's lovely. This is a great site to join and find out what things are. You would get responses from people all over the country. Here's Chris Packham of Springwatch introducing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQIWT1AIeLE and here's the site itself. http://www.ispotnature.org/

I'm so proud that I got the rose correct! :) I really do know nothing about flowers. My stuff: A Writer's Guide to Wizzley | Beautiful Britain!

I'm the same. I've had an allotment, love plants and my balcony is jam packed with things. But I can never remember the names, I just think, "Oooh, I like that one!". Oh, I do know geraniums! Kathleen

Only wild rose I know is the dogwood rose and I'm not even sure how wild it is these days... Hopefully this picture should link properly. Spam infested sites are not my friend. The first one I tried was worse than Jo's link to that article the other day! Described by one of my clients as 'a literary grammarian', writing, researching and reading are requirements for sanity, at least this side of the keyboard.

Kathleen - I'm quite good with daisies... Paula - That looks like it! Are we going for dogwood rose then? My stuff: A Writer's Guide to Wizzley | Beautiful Britain!

Don't ask me! I'm that useless at gardening I have to employ someone to look after a 20' square plot, remember? Described by one of my clients as 'a literary grammarian', writing, researching and reading are requirements for sanity, at least this side of the keyboard.

I'll tell you one thing; it's not a cabbage. |

It looks like a rose. Does it have a prickly stem? A clear sign! That would solve the problem frankbeswick

Ooh!!! We had plenty of those when I was younger. They're roses.
PS: Don't ask me what species :P They smell really good and last long if kept in a vase.
The full bloomed one does have fewer petals though. But from the first pic it's surely a rose. The leaves and the bud are still clear in my mind. Still some in my neighbours front yard. Not in bloom atm though Check out my blog SEO for Dummies

Ah! Thank you all very much. It did indeed have thorns on its stems. I'll report back that it's a rose. My stuff: A Writer's Guide to Wizzley | Beautiful Britain!
