help identifying this plant
Hi All
I have moved some plants from our side of the gargage to back garden today, and quite a few of them are this plant - it looks like rose, but it is not, as it has fruit which looks like baby tomatoes, and the stems are very thorny. The way stems go up, it looks like roses..what is this plant, and where are the best location (sunny, partial sunny or shade, wet dry soils??) for them? How tall do they grow per year..etc? Thanks in advance Dan |

Hi Jim
Thats it! - What can I do without this good old internet eh?? I can tell it from the way the fruits look - I thought they were baby tomatoes ..So they are just type of rose - but then, they will need a lot of sun and fertiliser and water like roses? cheers Dan "Jim W" wrote in message news:1g2qize.12awxgxauqikN%00senetnospamtodayta@ma cunlimited.net...

Of course you can feed and water 'anything' and make it grow soft and lush but generally ours (like our roses) don;t get anything much other than a good muclch of bark chips as weed control and mebbe top dressing of compost or well rotted manure each year at the most. Other than that they are left to fend for themselves!-) I'm no expert on the Rosa species though. / Ji |

Sounds very much like Rosa Rubigosa. It was sold in large quantities via ads in the daily press in the seventies as a quick informal hedging plant. (Before the Leylandii explosion.) It is pretty indestructible and grows almost anywhere with little attention needed. |

They will grow practically anywhere. Each of mine just get one handful of Rrowmore fertiliser each year.
