In May I’m looking for Wild flowers
(This month I want to see native wild flowers found in the hedgerows, woodlands, farmland, meadows, by the coast, up a mountain, on the heath and even in your own garden. Basically those plants that haven’t been planted, but occur naturally, although specifically planted wild flower meadows can be included. Wild flowers provide food for humans and wildlife and are usually hardy, resilient and well adapted to the climate and soils, and yes sadly often referred to as weeds.)
Dog Rose: (Rosa Canina) is a scrambling shrub, found in hedgerows, woodland edges, on sand dunes and grasslands. It is the most abundant of our native, wild roses, with sweet-scented pink or white flowers that appear in June and July
followed by glossy red egg-shaped hips in autumn. These are good for rose-hip syrup, or provide excellent bird food in winter.

I love what you have done to the rose Jude it looks like delicate water painting with a touch of pen to define the edges, nice one. I am still lingering in WA and enjoying searching the archives, brings back lots of memories. https://memoriesaremadeofthisblog.wordpress.com/2016/05/09/garden-photography-challenge-wild-flowers/
The actual flowers were very difficult to photograph as they are hidden among the foliage so my images are not very sharp. I used the poster edge effect on the first one as it does help define the edges. Glad you like it PP.
I love wild roses. The scent in the air is so wonderful!
I love any type of rose that has a perfume.
