Rubus vestitus is a European species of brambles in the rose family, called European blackberry [2] in the United States. It is native to Europe and naturalized along the northern Pacific Coast of the United States and Canada (British Columbia, Washington, Oregon). [2]

Rubus vestitus is a spiny shrub sometimes as much as 2 meters (80 inches) tall. Leaves are palmately compound with 3 or 5 leaflets, each leaflet wide, almost round, with a pointed tip and with teeth along the edges. Flowers are pink or magenta. Fruits are very dark, nearly black. [3]

Rubus vestitus is one of the commonest species of bramble in the British Isles, found in most vice-counties, apart from the far North. Its preference for neutral to slightly alkaline soils places it among a minority of European Rubus. [4]
