Predominantly found in coastal habitats, the flowers of the Burnet Rose (Rosa pimpinellifolia or R. spinosissima) can be seen from May until September. The flowers are typically white, with some displaying flashes of pink. The stem of the Burnet Rose is covered in lots of small spines, which is undoubtedly where it got the specific part if its Latin name, spinosissima, meaning ‘having many spines’. Taken by David Palmar.
