| This is why I love this forum and the Antique Rose forum! Even when people ask questions that turn out not to be about roses, some knowledgeable person will answer with helpful information. I agree it is not a rose, and it certainly looks like some of the pictures of contorted quince I found when I googled that. Jackie |

| Jackie- I rethought that quince guess once I zoomed in the picture and saw they were more than likely thorns. I recalled a recent post here on the Roses Forum requesting advice for planting a rose strategically to keep some one from stealing an air conditioner. One individual had recommended this Flying Dragon specimen as an alternative to a rose. anyway... I thought about that and I looked that Flying Dragon up more and I am pretty sure this tree is that plant. though it looks like a smaller quince. |

| Looks like smilax or chainey briar (what some people in the S.C. call it) |

| Thanks for your suggestions. I did see a sign for hardy orange, but it was not near this plant. It was actually closer to some quince. Ill do some research now. It was kinda hard to do a image search on my phone. And yes those are very sharp thorns. As bad as some of the terminal spines on my agaves. |
