Can you help me ID these plants I saw on my walk today?

The first photo - what is that plant combination, the flowers and the bright green leaves on the ground?

Thanks

I think the second one is a tree peony

In the first photo the flowers are on a hellebore. Don't know about the bright green leaves - it's not the same plant.

the second is a wild rose - very prickly stems and very fragrant flowers. they are often used in deterrent hedging to stop people taking short cuts.
the fruit are edible (rosehips)

third a rambling rose.

Hellebore, with moss underneath, and then a couple of rosa rugosa's.

The middle pic is Rosa rugosa. It is prickly as hell and it spreads. We had it as a hedge in our old house and found it coming up through the lawn. The petals made excellent confetti when dried though.

The third photo is of a cistus, also known as a rock rose. The lime green spiky plant under the hellebores in the first picture is a sedum as a pp States.

Thanks so much

yes to Rosa rugosa. the third picture is a Cistus - the flowers are very rose-like, but the leaves are quite unlike rose leaves.

I googled the lime green plant and it is a sedum (Angelina) - thanks for all your help with ID (helped with inspiration for planting)
