Nederland - Lauwersoog, Hondsroos
The hondsroos (dog rose) is quite common in the Netherlands. I came across a lot of them during a walk in the National Park Lauwersmeer. Its flowers - blooming in June and July - are usually pale pink, but can vary between a deep pink and white. They are 4 - 6 centimeters in diameter with five petals.
The name hondsroos refers to ancient Greek medicine when the plant was used against hondsdolheid (= rabies).
