Wasp gall on a rose bush

Wasp gall on a rose bush
Every so often someone posts one of these on ipernity. They are a strange sight but seem to do the rose no harm!
I read up on these in Wikipedia and found a lot of useful and interesting stuff, far more than I have time to type, so here is the link;

Diane Putnam, , cammino, Fred Fouarge and 9 other people have particularly liked this photo

I've never seen one of these though I may have seen one on a rose, but ignored it, thinking it was a growth or something. How many wasps would you think were in there?

Amazing catch! I wonder if it refers to Asian wasps or common wasps.

Nice! Yes, it's amusing to see these posted, once in awhile. One of nature's oddities.
