    Would be grateful if any of you wise people could tell me what these plants/shrubs are? They are in daughter's new garden and although I feel I ought to know - I don't.
    I suspect the one in the gravel is not a weed per se - except in the way that it's a plant in the wrong place!
    One is a close up of one of the shrubs. Another is I'm assuming a rose of some sort - climbing? overgrown??
    Thanks.

    thanks Scrungee
    Ash - should have known!
    Never heard of Wood Avens
    Rugosa is a sort of rose? Not heard of it but a bit of googling implies it will take some hard pruning. It's rather large.
    Look forward to the name of number 5......

    Don't let the wood aven set seed and dig out/weed kill as much as you can. It will grow anywhere and is very invasive in my experience.
