I despair!
Oh dear here we go again!

Yes that is a rose..just look at the leaves and those thorns.
Those are the seed pods which are called Rose hips.
They come after the plant has flowered.

The American rose society says there are over 40,000 named roses, some no longer in commerce or in existence.

So without seeing what colour the petals are /how many petals it has /what size the flowers are/when in the year it flowers/how tall the plant grows etc etc etc then even an expert in roses would not attempt to give you a name.
It takes a real expert to id Roses from the flowers and all the other clues.

Please just label it Rosa and forget which one it is.
Or start at the beginning and decide you desperately want to learn about all 40,00 roses and join a class all about Roses..starting with the basics.
eg How to id that it a rose when it does not have any flowers.

You must learn to look.
Then go back and really look.
Then go back regularly, to notice how that plant changes during 12 months.
The leaves, the buds, the flowers, the fruits,the bark etc etc.
Stop believing everything on these blinking plant apps.
