'''''Rosa dumalis''''' ('''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 [[synonymy|synonym]] of ''[[Rosa canina]]''.
It is a [[shrub]] that grows 1-2 m high. It has long, bent thorns. It bears dark or light pink [[flower]]s in June and July. The [[rose hip|hips]] are oval and quite soft. It may be confused with ''R. canina'', but when flowering they are easy to tell apart since ''R. canina'' has white or light pink flowers.
