Roses

I was very excited to see rosebuds climbing amongst the blackthorn

but then further up the path where there is more sun I found.....

and finally.....

These are Rosa arvensis, the field rose and they grow among the tall hedge of blackthorn and hawthorn, where the path is fiarly narrow and so very shady.

Further up, where the path is wider due to tractor traffic accessing fields on either side, Rosa canina, the dog rose can be found.....
