This photo art piece gives you just a hint that a dog rose, also known as rosa canina, is growing up through a Teucrium shrub. This climbing rose has curved prickles that allows it to climb up through the middle of other shrubs as it takes a firm hold. It is a lovely complimentary plant for this Teucrium, which is also known as a germander. The rose has soft pink flowers with a sweet scent and the Teucrium has heavily scented blue flowers, both attracting large numbers of pollinating insects.
