LIFE of a WILD ROSE... Flower

The True "Wild" Roses…
The botanical term for wild rose is "species rose", which means just what it says — a species that occurs naturally, with no help from man — a true "wildflower."
There are over 100 of these worldwide, some native to North America, many from the Orient and Europe.
These true wild roses are all single with exactly five petals — never more, and almost all of them are pink, with a few whites and reds, and even fewer that range toward yellow. (By the way, there are now over 20,000 hybrids, with about 200 new ones every year.)
Pasture Rose, Prairie Rose, Wild Rose, Dog Rose, Eglantine, Sweetbriar, and Scotch Briar are just a few of the very common names for wild roses.
WILD ROSE… UNDER ATTACK…
Spotted this beauty but when I looked closer I saw all the movement of the furry caterpillars.
They were slowly eating this bush of gorgeous pink wild Roses.
The rose hip or rosehip, also called rose haw and rose hep, is the accessory fruit of the rose plant.
It is typically red to orange, but ranges from dark purple to black in some species.
Rose hips begin to form after successful pollination of flowers in spring or early summer, and ripen in late summer through autumn.
Rose hips are used for herbal teas, jam, jelly, syrup, rose hip soup, beverages, pies, bread, wine, and marmalade.
