Ragusa roses are rose species with particularly large and wide hips. Originally from eastern Asia, they were originally imported as an ornamental garden plant but can also be found growing wild.

The last traces of the duckling’s downy infant feathers can just be seen behind the wings.

The mother was no longer there on the following day.
