Rubus fruticosus
The flower is white or pinkish-white, two to three centimeters in diameter, with five sepals, five petals and numerous stamens. Fruits in a few weeks!
Grows almost everywhere in the northern hemisphere except in the deserts.
Wild blackberries, like their cultivated relatives, grow as thorny canes, some trailing, others more or less erect. There seem to be 2 subspecies in my area: one with entirely white flowers, and the one with a tinge of pink. Fruits are slightly different. This could also result from hybridisation with cultivated species.
