I'm not sure if it's a Dipolepsis rosae - gall seems to be located in wrong place on the plant... but it still might be it.

Hmm.. Very true.. : O If I remember well, there were more of these galls on the bush, but they were all placed near the base of the leaves..
No idea what it could exactly be though, but I'm still glad I now know how this neat lil thing got created!

Yea, the way it gets created is really cool.

Whoa, that's weird looking. If we could gather up enough of these to put on clothing, however, little girls would go nuts over it. "It's PINK!"

Idk if you'd want that, I just learned that these beautiful puffs are actually caused by lil wasps! (Diplolepis rosae)Β I think their larvae are in there.. whoops! :'3c

That's true... I don't want wasps to be all over people.

I did a little digging too and I believe it's a "mossy rose gall". They're created by the cynipid gall wasp.

Here's more information: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplolep…

WOAAH NICE!!! It makes so much sense now... Damnit! Why did I not think of that before! These lil wasps make plants do such strange and beautiful things (like on oak seeds! :Β www.notcot.com/images/2013/08/… )
Thank you so much oh my gosh!! ;v;

Haha, you're welcome. Galls and the like certainly do come in lots of interesting shapes. I'd never seen one like this before though! And what a great colour it is.
