    Default Plant seen on verge in France

    Saw this a couple of days ago, it had a rose like stem, but curious bloom.

    The red bit is not a plant, but a parasite-caused growth on a rose plant. It is called Robin's pincushion.

    It says there that it grows on wild roses, but I have had it grow in the garden on the smaller-leafed ones like Rosa Glauca.

    I suppose that is because it is closest to a wild variety, although it has purple/grey leaves?

    I see that David Austin sell it as a Wild Rose!http://www.davidaustinroses.co.uk/r-glauca

    Looks lovely in any garden - and its thorns keep cats away!
