Close up picture of two wild dog rose flowers
Dog Rose is a native, deciduous, scrambling shrub, growing up to 4m. Flowers are sweetly fragrant, pale pink or white and up to 6cm across. The pink flowers bleach white in the sun. There are numerous stamens with yellow anthers that darken with age. The stigmas are in a central cone, which is narrower than the central disk. The fruits are hairless, orange-red hips - the sepals fall off before the hips become coloured. Leaves have pairs of dark green, toothed, oval leaflets - up to 4cm long. Stems are arching and have curved thorns.
