wildrose

Untamed thorny flower

Wildrose refers to any wild-growing rose species, as opposed to cultivated garden varieties.

These shrubs with simple five-petaled flowers grow in hedgerows, meadows, and woodland edges across temperate regions.

The wild rose often symbolizes natural beauty or rustic simplicity: The fence was overgrown with wildrose.

In Canadian politics, Wildrose was a conservative provincial party in Alberta, active from 2008 to 2017.
