Not a Rose

Hi,
what is this please? It's awfully familiar...

It grew bang in the middle of a seedling pot and tried to be a miniature Rose seedling I sowed, but now has decided to look very different. It was germinated indoors so not a gift from the wind or birds and must be something out of a seed bag. I'm a bit relaxed when it comes to seed sowing so this could be anything really.

Hawthorn? (Although I didn't sow that... )

Thanks!

 

I'm getting lots of squirrel sown Hazel coming up all over the place.
Yours does look Hawthorn like.

 

This one germinated in a windowsill propagator in my living room. There weren't too many squirrels around I seem to recall.

All the seeds looked like rose seeds and the compost was fresh- I think.

 

I think my Not-A-Rose is somewhat a Beech. Very branching, bushy and nice but will have to go unless anyone can identify it as something rare and spectacular definitely worth keeping

 

Could it be Hazel.
Sorry just realised we have been here before.

 

Yes I agree it looks nutty, but as it germinated in a tiny propagator cell in my living room I would certainly have noticed a nut when potting it on.

Quite a nice visitor, slugs and pests ignore it so it must be a tree or a weed.

 

How about Alder.
Seeds are tiny, or birch, that gets everywhere.
