          edit - Just googled it and probably not.
          This is more of a dog rose and bloomin' thorny!

                      Around my garden today.

                      The 'semi-wild' patch next to the shed is bursting into life. It's a mixture of wild and cultivated plants which have gradually seeded themselves and spread around, producing a naturalistic look. My only input is occasionally pulling out a few of the more competitive ones and removing any invasive weeds which appear.

                      Most of the colour at present is provided by forget-me-nots, with one lone honesty plant holding out against the tide of blue.
