Can someone identify this plant for me. It grows in the woods around our yard in northern Maryland. It is a vine with thorns. At first I thought it was blackberry even though I have never seem any berries-maybe a lack of honey bees in our area. After a little investigation, I decided it wasn't blackberry. It is rather pretty with its white flowers--just like to know what it is.

Thanks for you help.
Ken

Yes, definitely wild rose. They are blooming everywhere in our area right now. I just posted an image of this flower in the floral gallery. :smile:
