According to Fitter, cloudberry fruits are orange rather than red, and
the leaves are shallowly lobed rather than trefoil. But cloudberry
sprang into my mind when I saw the original pic, and I looked it up and
dismissed it on the basis of the leaves. Then looking again a few weeks
ago, I realised that what I actually had in mind was stone bramble, but
the petals of that are narrow.

According to CTW, unripe cloudberry fruits are red, and the leaves
of male plants are lobed to 1/3 of their depth.

That's not deep enough for Stewart's original pics!
