Default Blackberry with rose-like habit


Found this interesting Blackberry a few years ago,

A good medium sized fruit, but a stem grew in an unused polly tunnel and
the flavour was great, you wouldn't have known it was a blackberry.


It might be Rubus laciniatus or a hybrid of it. There is also a
R. fruticosus var. laciniata.

Regards,
Nick Maclaren.



Now if I could just get it to be thorn free and variegated
................ Wow!
