A common site on abandoned land, wild roses come in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes. They generally are low shrubs, from 2-6 feet (.6-1.8 m) tall, with pink flowers from May until August. From July onwards, they produce scarlet "hips" or fruits that often hang on throughout the winter. Leaves are alternate and compound, made up of 5-7 small, toothed leaflets. Twigs have distinctive (and very sharp) thorns. Bark is green on new growth and turns red-to-brown as the plant gets older.
