Are you sure?I think this is a Robin's pincushion gall caused by the parthenogenetic hymenopteran gall wasp (Diplolepis rosae)

Greater Dodder
Greater Dodder
Greater Dodder (Cuscuta europaea) is a parasitic plant. It does not have leaves, roots or chlorophyll and so is totally dependant upon its host. It twines itself around the host plant and penetrates it with suckers in order to obtain nutrients. It is in flower from August to September. Dog Rose (Rosa canina) was the host for this Dodder.
