mystery shrub
Anybody know what kind of bush this is? The bush is thorny, like a raspberry bush. It is low growing and has a bunch of small, crabapple-sized bright red fruits.
It is in Zone 7/Virginia. See photo at http://www.flickr.com/photos/clp7a/853202285/in/set-72157600905441798/ |

See photo at http://www.flickr.com/photos/clp7a/8...7600905441798/ The presence of the remains of the calyx at the apex of the fruit characterises two groups in Rosaceae - Maloideae (apples, pears, etc., etc.) and Roseae (Rosa and segregates). No maloid with ternate or pinnate leaves, and thorny stems, comes to mind, so I'd suggest a rose - perhaps Rosa rugosa. If you open up the fruit you should be able to tell whether it is a pome or cyanorhodion (hip). -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

Go to google qand search Virginia Rose. The flower is wonderfully smelling. The hip makes good jam.
