    Spotted a well-grown example of this plant in neighbour's garden. When established the foliage has a beautiful silver-blue cast to it. Neighbour says flowers are small, pink, 5-petalled, and it is a 'Something rosa.' Anyone recognise it, so that neighbour and I may both know what it is?
    Don't know how I'd manage without you lot. :wub2:

    Possibly Rosa Rugosa, the multiple thorns on the stems suggest that to me. :)

    It's Rosa glauca, AKA Rosa rubrifolia.
