rosa sp.
Roses are woody perennials that form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing or trailing with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds.
The parking lot of the Armand Bayou Nature Center was edged with several of these wild rose bushes.
Upper Texas Coast (UTC 081) ARMAND BAYOU NATURE CENTER: A system of nature trails honeycombs the property, and the center operates a pontoon boat that plies the waters of Armand Bayou. ABNC staff and volunteers have spent countless hours restoring several hundred acres of coastal prairie, and grassland species such as Sedge Wren and Le Conte’s Sparrow are not difficult to find here. ABNC staff is available to answer questions about when and where to bird in the Clear Lake area.

Thanks Luis. This was a great trip. Lots more postings to do. :)
Doubt I can identify this rose for sure. The Armand Bayou Nature Center is located on what was the Martyn Farm. The old buildings have been kept for educational purposes. This was probably a planted rose since it is on these old structures. :)
Nice!
Beautiful spotting gatorfellows, is this possibly a 'Dog Rose'?
