Explanation of terms

Species Details

Rosa canina aggregate This aggregate, referred to generally as Dog Roses, consists of all subsequent species of rose and their hybrids. This form of terminology is used because of the difficulties in correctly naming members of the group. As an aggregate it is well recorded but all the members of the group are all under-recorded. As the aggregate, this rose is a native shrub of wood margins, hedges, rough grasslands, rock outcrops and waste places. It is very common throughout the lowland parts of our area but only frequent in the more upland Peak District. It has a local name of Briar (Grigson 1975).
