November 2nd, Occitanie, France, grafted plant. Round hips. It seems to grow easily from cutting, as the only one I made this Spring has already flowered twice and produced the same round hips, despite such a hot and dry summer.
I encouraged my pot-grown plant to grow as a standard, so there is a single bare trunk and then a (rather open) structure of branches (pictured here from different angles). SE England, August 2022.

Probably because of the heat, blooms have been tiny this June. Another possible reason is that spraying with seaweed extract accelerates growth and blooming at the cost of full bud development, but that's just a wild guess. June 2022. SE England.
