Rubus fruticosus
Biennial thorny climbing shrub, whose branches produce stems with leaves the first year, and 3 petaled leaves and flowers (and fruits) the second year, then die out. The root system is perennial
Seen under the trees on borders of protected marshy area of Mategnin, bordering also an agricultural field. Semi-urban suburbs of Geneva.
Petals are edible and used to decorate salads; fruits are highly prized raw, or prepared in jams, jelly or pies.
