As B3 says likely a species rose. It may be there was a cultivated there rose originally and the rootstock has taken over. I've got one the same in my front garden - about 8ft high now. It'll probably have single flowers anywhere from white to pink If you leave it, it'll be covered in attractive bright red hips through winter and provide food for birds. You can prune it anytime from January to late February

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Yes it’s a rose bush of some sort. It’ll flower again next summer and then we’ll know more about the possible type. The bulbous things are the seed cases also called rose hips.
Its possibly an early flowering type ... those rose hips will probably turn red and look beautiful in the autumn and provide lots of food for the wild birds 😀
It won’t really need a lot of pruning unless it grows too large or needs rejuvenating.
Don’t prune it now as it is likely to be a type that flowers on growth produced in the previous year so pruning now would mean that you would not get many flowers next year.

Looks like my Rosa Rugosa, self seeds everywhere, I never planted it now it’s right along the banks. I cut it to the ground late winter. does yours have bright pink flowers?

Thank you - I am not sure - I have just moved in, and don't know anything about roses!
