Rosa pimpinellifolia / Spinosissima- Scotch Rose / Burnet Rose

The Scotch Rose or Burnet Rose - Rosa pimpinellifolia or Rosa Spinosissima - is a very thorny rose that makes an excellent dense thicket. It bears heavily scented white/pink flowers and maroon/black fruit. Always useful in a mixed hedge or as a low hedge on its own, especially on banks where it handles dry soil and drying winds better than most roses.
