West Dunbartonshire and Clydebank
As the name would suggest the Japanese Rose (Rosa rugosa) is native to East Asia and has been grown in the UK since around the mid-19th Century, often planted in parks and gardens. It is common around coastal areas, its seeds distributed by birds and mammals. As it grows it produces dense thickets, out-competing other native plants and dominating the area.
