Wild Rose? Berries??
 

Hi

I have no clue what this plant is, here is a pic of the flower, a berry it
produces once the flower dies, and a leaf. Ideas?

Whew! Do I want to download the latest version of Flash Viewer? No
thank you. After about 4 minutes, the page has finally loaded, but I'm
not sure I want to wait for a 112kb picture.

Seems as if others have answered the question, which I certainly
wouldn't have been able to help with. Maybe it's best to exclude
dial-up 'amateurs.'
