'''''Rosa canina''''' (lit. '''Dog Rose''', often called incorrectly '''[[Rosehip]]''') is a variable scrambling [[rose]] species native to [[Europe]], northwest [[Africa]] and western [[Asia]].

	It is a [[deciduous]] [[shrub]] normally ranging in height from 1-5 m, though sometimes it can scramble higher into the crowns of taller trees. Its stems are covered with small, sharp, hooked spines, which aid it in climbing. The [[leaf\|leaves]] are pinnate, with 5-7 leaflets. The [[flower]]s are usually pale pink, but can vary between a deep pink and white. They are 4-6 cm diameter with five petals, and mature into an oval 1.5-2 cm red-orange [[fruit]], or [[rose hip\|hip]].

	~~==Cultivation and uses==~~
	The plant is high in certain antioxidants. The fruit is noted for its high [[vitamin C]] level and is used to make [[syrup]], [[tea]] and [[marmalade]]. It has been grown or encouraged in the wild for the production of vitamin C, from its fruit (often as rose-hip syrup), especially during conditions of scarcity or wartime. The species has also been introduced to other temperate latitudes. During [[World War II]] in the [[United States]] ''Rosa canina'' was planted in [[victory garden]]s, and can still be found growing throughout the United States, including roadsides, and in wet, sandy areas up and down coastlines.

'''''Rosa canina''''' (lit. '''Dog Rose''', often called incorrectly '''[[Rosehip]]''') is a variable scrambling [[rose]] species native to [[Europe]], northwest [[Africa]] and western [[Asia]].

It is a [[deciduous]] [[shrub]] normally ranging in height from 1-5 m, though sometimes it can scramble higher into the crowns of taller trees. Its stems are covered with small, sharp, hooked spines, which aid it in climbing. The [[leaf|leaves]] are pinnate, with 5-7 leaflets.

They are 4-6 cm diameter with five petals, and mature into an oval 1.5-2 cm red-orange [[fruit]], or [[rose hip|hip]].

The dog rose is the flower of Hampshire

==Etymology==
The name 'dog' has a disparaging meaning in this context, indicating 'worthless' (by comparison with cultivated garden roses) (Vedel & Lange 1960).

Howard (1987) states that it was used in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to treat the bite of [[rabies|rabid]] dogs, hence the name "dog rose" arose.<ref>Howard, Michael. ''Traditional Folk Remedies'' (Century, 1987); p133</ref>

Other old folk names include rose briar (also spelt brier), briar rose, dogberry,, herb patience, sweet briar, wild briar, witches' briar, and briar hip.
