I didn't find a pink variety for arvensis, while pale pink is very common for canina. Do you have a reference for a pink arvensis? Was it wild or in a garden? In which case we may have to leave it at Rosa sp. :-)

I thought both species have pink varieties, but you may be right Daniele, so I made the change. Thanks for the remark.

Hi Emilie! I believe this is Rosa canina. The flowers of Rosa arvensis are white.
