Rosa canina, commonly known as the dog rose, is a vigorous, deciduous shrub with a scrambling growth habit that reaches heights of up to three meters. Its arching stems are armed with curved prickles, supporting oval, serrated green foliage. In late spring, it produces fragrant, pale pink or white flowers, followed by bright red, vitamin-rich hips used in teas and jams. This resilient species thrives in well-drained soil and sunny locations, making it ideal for wildlife-friendly hedges.
