Rubus gratus is a species of bramble found across much of Northwest Europe.
Rubus gratus is an arching shrub, with a reddish purple, sharply angled stem. The stem has numerous prickles of varying sizes, most being between 4 and 7 mm in length. The leaves are composed of five yellowish green leaflets. Flowers are large (to 4cm in diameter), and pink. [1]
Rubus gratus has been described as having some of the choicest fruits – the blackberries – among Rubus species, particularly for cooked desserts. [2]

It occurs in hedges, shrubs, wood and heathy areas, and was first described and named in 1892 by the Derbyshire botanist William Richardson Linton. Linton placed an illustration of the plant in gold leaf on the cover of the 1903 version of The Flora of Derbyshire, of which he was the sole author.
