The roses in TSM seem to be growing very vigorously this year and flowering cannot now be all that far away, though maybe not for a year or two.
We have two species of wild rose in TSM, the field rose (Rosa arvensis) at the top and one of the dog-roses. The latter has been there since the early days of the project and is one of the canina aggregate.
A carder bee was busy on the bugle flowers.
