"Rosa arvensis" was first identified in England and has been subsequently observed elsewhere in Europe. In England, it can be seen principally in hedges and thickets, while in Bulgaria, it also forms part of the understory of deciduous forests.It is found in most of the British Isles, France and Belgium, the Pyrenees and in more scattered localities elsewhere in Spain, in the west and south of Germany, the foothills of the Alps, in Italy, Western Hungary, in the Little Carpathians of Slovakia, the Carpathians of Romania, most of the Balkan Peninsula. It has been reported in isolated occurrences in North-western Africa, southern Anatolia and the Levant, but it is likely these are instead instances of "R. phoenicia". In Caucasia it is present only as a cultivated plant.
