This photo art piece shows a single soft pink dog rose flower, rosa canina, and rose hips dangling above it. The delicate flowers are lightly scented, attracting pollinators, and then when they have finished they turn into these gorgeous red rose hips. The dog rose is a perennial climbing plant with curved prickles that enable it to cling on and climb up through other shrubs or thrive on steep banks. Where other plants might struggle to get a grip, the dog rose takes advantage and thrives.
