Rosa Anemonoeflora

One of the old homesteads i do work for has a rose stuck down the back of the house, looking at the flower from HMF I think it might be Rosa Anemomoeflora. When i go back there next week i will have to look at the foliage, but looking at the flower i have this gut feeling. The other week i found the Dunwich rose stuck in this secluded corner of the garden.

Interesting that you've found the Dunwich rose. The NZers have become very interested in spins (spinosissimas / pimpinellifolias), as they find quite a few in old gardens. I don't think we've found any in SA, which is surprising, considering how hard they are to get rid of if you let them loose on their own roots. Survivors.

Before I started working in this garden , I dont think this poor thing was watered for years , almost 10yrs of drought and it still survived, i really like its small foliage and perfect single flowers.


Looks like i spelt the above heading wrong it should be Rosa Anemoneflora
