  • Question

    This Rose was found in the Helderberg Escarpment NY. I was thinking it was Rosa rubiginosa, but I have no experience with this genus. Thank you,

    Answer

    Auntie, I can't see the necessary details to make a confident determination. The pedicels and the hypanthium are not visible to me. From what I can see, the rose may be Rosa canina (dog rose), but additional images of the features I mentioned and careful examination of the leaf surface to check for the presence of glands would help me considerably. Best wishes.
