I´m so bad at botany that I didn´t realize that there are actually wild roses in Sweden. Wild, as opposed to feral. And I have a weird way of suppressing knowledge of those, too - do I subconsciously fear the thornes of feral roses?
I was even more surprised when I realized that a rose plant can grow two or three meters high, often at tree trunks?! Some checking in a voluminous flora at the local library confirmed the above (ChatGPT was lying as usual - but it did get the "wild" and "large" parts right).
Does this mean anything, except that I´m in need of reading more botany books (I won´t)? Probably not, but it must have been last year´s strangest realization!
