Plant identification lesson no. out of thousands: Check whether the leaves are simple or compound and how do leaf edges look like? All roses have compound leaves with saw-tooth like edges.

I think simple and leaves are pointed but You the expert in identification I am just a beginner. Well pre maturing to maturing color, number of leaflets in a leaf and over all bush shape gives an idea that it is very similar to rose bush.
