Dog Rose (Rosa canina, also known as Wild Rose or Wild Briar) is a lovely flowering hedge that bursts with delicately-scented pink and white flowers in early summer that give way to berry-like red rose hips in autumn, which are very popular with birds. 

 

It's apparently called the dog rose because its roots were believed to cure the bite of a rabid dog. In the Christian faith, the dog rose is symbolic of purity, love and marriage. It was also linked to the prediction of death, as it was once thought that if you were ill and dreamt of roses you would die!
