  Reply | Contact Hello, I've just joined the forum, after browsing some of the other gardening forums this seems to be the one with the most knowledgeable crowd! Could I ask that you try and identify this plant please? A month or so ago it had lots of pink/red flowers, they are now turning into berries of some sort. The leaf is not unlike that of a gooseberry, but the bust is far to big (8 feet tall) and not thorny. 20120623_141147 by d86cfv, on Flickr  I do know that when in bloom, the bee's absolutely loved this plant! There will be more to follow later :) A master at growing brambles!
