In the 18th and 19th century this plant was used to treat the bite of rabid dogs, hence the name "dog rose".

Well done, but it's a little bit pity, that in the blossom of the rose is such a big shadow.Regards, Vera

Schöne Wildrosenblüte. Die Bezeichnung Hundsrose ist nicht so gebräuchlich.Gruß Heinz

did it help? the dog rose treatment?? you know, i had wondered about that strange name! weirdly enough, in german, some people also call the dandelion a "hundeblume"… very interesting indeed! and, as always, a beautiful shot of the dog rose blossom – for me it's one of those flowers that radiate both a pleasant "thisworldliness" and an ethereal delicacy! oh, and what a lovely fragrance most of them fill the air with!! greetings, sabine.Daniela Cognigni 05/06/2014 16:12
La rosa canina, la sua semplicità e la sua bellezza, questa varietà della tua immagine ha anche un delicato colore.Ciao Mark, buona serata.
