Wild roses are in bloom everywhere on those thorny little bushes~the air sure does smell sweet in the woods! Here's some info on a true wild rose. Wild roses are single flowers that always have 5 petals. The thorns are slightly curved and rather thin. The oval fruits or hips are red. This rose is a good wildlife shelter and has been used for erosion control. Catbirds,mockingbirds,yellow warbler and cardinals make their home in these patches. White-tailed deer,robins,ruffled grouse and pheasants all feed on these flowers. It can be invasive and spreads rapidly. Today in the US, the “wild rose” competes with the violet as our most popular state flower; both are the symbols of several states.

Beautiful capture Ami, the contrasting white and green are fantastic. I also like the unusual border.

This looks like it is the corner of a much bigger picture. Very interesting the way you did this. Nice clear shot of the foofy, Ami. Very pretty too, with the green and white, and sunlight. Nice.

DID YOU SEE THAT?
Great shot and presentation Ami. If it had a little black on it, we could call it the "Penguin Rose." :) Thanks for all the info. Especially about having five petals.
Excellent post.

This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By.
Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience
A real beauty. The Indians in Louisiana respected this flower and they used the rose hips for medicinal purposes.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
I don't think I have even seen one of these before. So very pretty and the frames works well. Nicely done. Lyn.

~~~~~~~ MY EXHIBITION GALLERY ~~~~~~~~.
It's been a long, long time since I saw a wild rose in the woods. Beautiful shot...and I love the funky (but unobtrusive) frame.
