Roses have been in cultivation since antiquity, and even in nature, they can hybridize on their own, which can sometime make identification a little more difficult. One of the ways to tell the Woods` rose, Rosa woodsii, is the very round and shiny fruit, the hip. The prickles are very long and very sharp, so care must be taken with them. Almost the entire rest of the plant is known for many medicinal uses. As seen at the Carpinteria Salt Marsh 15 August 2022.
