Rosa canina (Rosaceae) 1:177


Rosa canina (dog rose) is a reasonably common introduced woody weed. It is spiny, and easily distinguished from Blackberry and other brambles by habit - it lacks the long spindly stems of brambles. It is more similar to the more common sweet briar (R. rubiginosa), but the leaves are not covered with hairs on the lower surface.
