is this a rogue rose? or bramble?

Hi,

I have this growing at the back of my border. It is upright. I did plant a rose nearby a couple of years ago, but it died, so not sure if it is one? The leaves seem smaller than a bramble though.

    Thanks :)

    That is what I thought too, but no idea where it came from, unless it is a sucker from the dead one. Will wait and see :) how long does it take for them to flower?

    You'll likely get flowers next year

    Has it got strong stems at the base - otherwise I might think it is a dog rose, ie one that has reverted to the wild

    does not make it bad

    I can't quite make out the number of leaflets on your picture, a general guide [not Gospel] is 5 leaflets per leaf are cultivated, 7 or more leaflets are normally wild

    However until it has flowered you will not know if it is gorgeous & a future Chelsea winner, or just a dog rose pooed out by a bird

    If you have space just watch it grow & enjoy it
