Rosa pulverulenta

Rosa pulverulenta

This entry was posted while I was on vacation, hence the brief written accompaniment. -- Daniel

This rose is native to eastern Turkey and the Caucasus - I admire it for its prickles (not thorns!). This photograph was taken in the Asia Minor section of the Alpine Garden.

Rosehips are extremely high in vitamin C and others as well. In Hungary and Germany they make jam out of it too bad that we have to import it and is only available in exotic delicatessens. Roses are also edible flowers as are pumpkin flowers which I just ate. Yummie.
Can worms and hummingbirds be wrong?
