Sorry for the poor photos as these were all taken from my phone camera.

You need good closeups of the flower stalks, or field notes, to decide the species. Rubiginosa with glandular hairs and fine prickles; canina without.

Oh, I actually thought this was a weed of some sort. I was with friends geocaching so didn't take a out my camera. Next time I see one, I will take the time to get some close ups. Thank you.

Rosa rubiginosa is a declared pest plant in the ACT (equivalent to noxious weed in NSW). Rosa canina is not, though still a weed.
