by a beautiful lake north of the town Williams Lake.
We were surrounded by wild roses.
The Wild Rose (Rosa acicularis) is also known as Prickly Rose. This shrub can grow up to 15 metres tall. The fruit of the Wild Rose is called rosehips (or hips). These pear-shaped red seed pods grow up to an inch in diameter and stay on the bush all winter. They are high in Vitamin C.

We call those rose bushes Rosehips over here and the smell of them in summer in Central Otago is for me a beautiful summer memory! Thanks for the photos - looks idyllic!
Roses, roses, wild roses, I love their fragrance, their colour and even their thorns. Thank you for the roses!
