The Rose Bedeguar Gall or Robin's Pincushion can frequently be seen growing on Dog Rose in country hedgerows, greens through to pinks and deep reds, the growth is the consequence of gall wasp who creates the growth via chemical injection in order to house their young. The common name refers to the woodland folk sprite of British tradition, Robin Goodfellow. They are a strange and lovely sight, particularly when covered in morning dew.
