Heirloom Rose #WordlessWednesday

This pink wild rose may (or may not) be an heirloom called Ballerina.

It appeared on my property line, among lilacs that came with our property, perhaps eight or nine years ago.  It was cut back by our neighbor and we don't get much from it - plus, it's in a lot of shade nowadays from the lilacs.

My neighbor's side is sunnier and I found one nice cluster on his side. (This is a rental now, and the owner never minded if I took lilac flower cuttings. So, I crossed onto his side of the border just long enough to take this quick picture).

Although it doesn't look as good from my side, I also realize I should give it a bit more love.

  1. Lovely blooms. When I enlarged the first image I think I see a long legged spider on the right side of the blossoms. Have a blessed day.

  3. It's a pretty one, must look lovely amid the lilac. I wonder if it's what's left of a standard rose, the suckers from the rootstock used in grafting, that the top part died back? I have a couple of bright pink/red "wild" rose that many years before I moved here was a row of roses.

  4. Very pretty, but that last shots shows it's getting love from pests. I think those are ants, but I could be wrong.

    Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.

    Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ♥

  6. It's a wonderful rose, reminiscent of its ancestor, the rosehip.

    Have a fine week, Alana!
