The old fashioned rose bloomed this year butr it did seem to have a tough time with our weather. As you can see on this one bunch of stems, only one rose hip formed. All the rest seem dead or dried up after the had formed. This is the old fashion pink rose that is next to the house, which is quite different than the wild Iowa rose in my back yard.
I had to go digging in the archives to find the bloom of early spring. I knew where it should be but I have a lot of things blooming at that time of there year. It definitely has no similarities to the wild rose. This rose was growing next to the kitchen when I bought the house back in the late 70's.

It is so sad when nature is affected by poor weather conditions. You got a good picture of the hop, though.
One rose hip. A pretty memory of the rose! Love the rose photo as well. Old fashioned roses are wonderful!
Great to know and see rose hip! Beautiful capture on the flower
