Today, while out for a walk, I stumbled upon the leaves of an old rosebush. The fresh new leaf growth resembles a little a raspberry leaf somewhat, but is more downy. I was able to find a shoot with an older leaf tucked away. It looks a bit like the leaf of a hazelnut tree. The stipules are also noteworthy.
There are long canes, but no flowers yet, and I didn’t find any old hips either. The shrub seemed a bit battered, so I can only hope that flowers will sooner or later appear. Maybe someone can already give me a tip about the name or its possible lineage. Thank you very much!
