Purple-Flowering Rasberry

A common flowering bush found anywhere, but prefer moist edges with enough light -- moist roadsides, it particularily likes the cliffs of the numerous gorges in the area. Maple-shaped leaves and reddish-brown, rose-like stems with fine thorns. Rose-like blooms with long sepals. Berries very dry and unpalatible.
