Rosa dumalis, the glaucous dog rose, is a species of rose native to Europe and southwest Asia. Not all authorities accept it as distinct, with the Flora Europaea treating it as a synonym of Rosa canina. On the other hand, Plants of the World Online treats (accepted by Flora Europaea) as a synonym of Rosa dumalis.
It is a shrub that grows 1–2 m (3 ft 3 in – 6 ft 7 in) high. It has long, bent thorns. It bears dark or light pink flowers in June and July. The hips are oval and quite soft.
