The legend of the rose bush, a wild dog rose, goes back to the founding history of the Hildesheim diocese around the year 815. At that time, Ludwig the Pious, son and successor of Emperor Charlemagne, found a precious reliquary between the flowers that he had lost while hunting. In honor of the Mother of God, Ludwig had a chapel built on the spot. This is what the legend of the "1000 year old" rose bush wants.
