Briar Rose


Canon 7D, 100mm Macro Lens

Briar Rose taken by the Lakeside of Lake Wanaka.  These roses were growing abundantly all round. In World War II people used to pick the Rose Hips to make Rosehip Syrup from these plants - a great source of vitamin C.  Small flowers but still very pretty, but had to watch those thorns!
