Wild Rose? Berries?? = Flowering Raspberry
Roses produce pomes like apples but smaller not berries.
Your plant has aggregate drupelets, a cluster of many one seeded berries like a Raspberry. In fact, your plant is the "Flowering Raspberry", Rubus odoratus. It is unusual in the genus not only by having large showy pink flowers and palmate leaves that are not divided into leaflets but it also lacks any of the thorns that are typical for most raspberries!!! It is a very good ornamental shrub. MissGinger wrote in message .. . 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? http://zed.cbc.ca/displayContent.do?...ILTER_KEY=3025 Thanks! PS: It's in my backyard, in Montreal, Canada |

"........ In fact, your plant is the "Flowering Raspberry", Rubus odoratus.

It is a very good ornamental shrub ......." I go along with most of that but be warned it will spread like any Raspberry by underground suckers. Mine come up anything up to 5 ft from the main clump. Also are American Raspberries different from those we grow in the UK? I have 5 varieties and None have thorns. The Logan berries, the Tay berries and the Blackberries(Sorry forget........being politically correct they are now.. "Bramble fruit") are all well spined, but I don't remember ever finding a spine/thorn on any raspberry cane, and I always work without gloves. -- David Hill Abacus nurseries www.abacus-nurseries.co.uk |

If you are asking if they are poisonous. No they are not.
If you are asking if they taste good. Try one yourself. They are not very good for eating. MissGinger wrote in message .. . Thank you!! Can the berries be eaten? "Cereoid-UR12-" wrote in message . ..
