Is this a rose growing in my hedge

[Prettyroses]

Has anyone else found this before? I thought they needed their space and don't like being crowded. It's incredibly thorny and growing at the top of my hedge and I can see some buds too. Is it a rose?

Here is a close up - fwiw I have never planted it so I have no idea where it has come from.

Yes, definitely a rose.
I've got similar - it's a rambler that has been swamped by the hedge. Still flowers each year.

I see, thank you. I think normally it gets cut down each year when the hedges get trimmed so I haven't noticed it before. Anyway to identify what type of rambler it is? It it is incredibly thorny!

It is probably Rosa Rugosa.

Anyone else have one like this?

Best bet is to wait till it flowers & see if you can identify it then.

Wait till it flowers and then see what they look like. That will help with id.

I will do, I'm hoping it is a shade of pink to add some much needed colour to my garden. I didn't even know such roses existed that grew in hedges.
