From Haugesund. With 3 children and a husband who's seemingly constantly away on business, I garden like it could save my life - and it probably does!

Rubus laciniatus

Help me identify this plant, please. It has invited itself in with my gooseberry bush, where it obviously can’t stay, but do I give it another home or do I compost it? It is very thorny and seems to want to creep along the ground.

I don’t know what it is, Mona, but it doesn’t look like a friend! 😳 I’d get rid of it! 👍

Thanks all of you. @gjones it does really look a lot like cutleaf blackberry, a non-native plant here. Though they haven’t quite decided on its threat level yet, data from the US suggest it could become problematic, so I’ll be putting it through the shredder. @emch @jacaranda @juliesgarden
