Different all together. The wild roses by the sea are true roses. Great for rose hip tea. Lenten rose is not a rose but for some reason neede a better name than hellebore.

I am new to the area so much of the wildlife here is slightly different than than the ones I know. Are these roses the same ones that grow wild along the coastline or is that a different sort all together?
