The rose bedeguar gall, Robin's pincushion gall, or moss gall〔Darlington, Arnold (1975) ''The Pocket Encyclopaedia of Plant Galls in Colour.'' Pub. Blandford Press. Poole. ISBN 0-7137-0748-8. P. 133 - 135.〕 develops as a chemically induced distortion of an unopened leaf axillary or terminal buds, mostly on field rose (''Rosa arvensis'') or dog rose (''Rosa canina'') shrubs, caused by the parthenogenetic hymenopteran gall wasp (''Diplolepis rosae'' (Linnaeus, 1758)), previous synonyms are ''D. bedeguaris'', ''Rhodites rosae'' or ''Cynips rosae''. ''Diplolepis'' females lay up to 60 eggs within each leaf bud using their ovipositors. The asexual wasp emerges in spring; less than 1% are males. A similar gall is caused by ''Diplolepis mayri'', but this is much less common. ==Terminology== Being so prominent and interesting in appearance, this gall has more folklore attached to it than most. The term 'Bedeguar, Bedegar or Bedequar' comes from a French word, ''bédegar'', and is ultimately from the Persian, ''bād-āwar'', meaning 'wind-brought'. Robin in Robin's pincushion refers to the woodland sprite of English folklore, Robin Goodfellow.〔Darlington, Arnold (1975) ''The Pocket Encyclopaedia of Plant Galls in Colour.'' Pub. Blandford Press.
