| | | Spring roses
Can anyone give any suggestions as to the ID of this rose, photographed on April 24th - or for that matter, has anyone ever come across any roses that flower in April full stop? 
Because I certainly haven't; I'm 90% sure this one's a garden escape, but I've not been able to match it to anything with a suitably early flowering time. |

My guess is either Rosa stylosa or Rosa arvensis.
I think R. arvensis is more likely. Its in flower near me   |

What about the white-flowered form of Rosa rugosa? My pink-flowered hedge has already started flowering...
