Question
This is growing in my yard in Massachusetts. There are two thick stems, both with flowers. So assuming it is a Rubus, no primocanes. I don't know if it is wild or planted before I bought the house.
Answer
Dear jfc, good morning. You have photographed a blackberry in the section Alleghenienses (e.g., R. allegheniensis) or Arguti (e.g., R. pensilvanicus, R. frondosus). I can't tell you which group this blackgberry is from without seeing a close-up of the inflorescence axis and knowing whether stipitate glands are present or not. With that (and a mm measurement of the prickles), we should be able to identify this plant.
