Rubus vestitus
Rubus vestitus is a spiny European bramble that forms a scrambling shrub up to about 2 metres tall, with pink to magenta flowers and dark, nearly black blackberries. It prefers neutral to slightly alkaline soil and is common in the British Isles.
Rubus vestitus is a European species of bramble, called European blackberry in the United States.
The species is native to Europe and is naturalized along the northern Pacific coast of Canada and the United States (British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon). It is one of the most common species of bramble in the British Isles, found in most vice-counties, apart from the far north. Its preference for neutral to slightly alkaline soils places it among a minority of European Rubus species.
