The wild rose is a rose hip bush that grows up to 5 metres in height and belongs to the Rosaceae family. Its botanical name is “Rosa canina” and it is native to Europe, the Near East and Central Asia, as well as North America and North Africa. It is a climbing shrub with small, curved thorns and pale pink flowers, which then produce bright red rose hips. The wild rose, commonly referred to also as “dog rose”, can be found in hedgerows, at the edge of forests and in shrubberies. It blossoms in summer (June/July) and in autumn produces the fully ripe, deep red rose hips, which are commonly associated with this season: With its intense shade of red, it adds a stunning splash of colour to our home and outdoors dominates the landscape on the first cool days of autumn.
