Yes Monkey mind, it is Rosa leschenaultiana, thanks. I could find it only because of your suggestions. Emma, at first even I did not realise it was rose, only because of monkey minds suggestions I looked and found out.

old and wild roses often have 7-9 leaves, not like the cultivated 3-5 leaves... yes in this spotting you can´t see thorns, but directly after the rosehip, there are little thorns - looks like it would be hairy stem or something like this

Leaves are different than a typical rose and I do not see any thorns too.

Wow you are a rose specialist. Will have to find out the species of Valley of flowers. No idea about the flowers.

this is definitely a rose! must be some old kind... any flowers? or heard about the flower color? could be Rosa leschenaultiana,or Rosa acularis (surviving -40°C) by the look of the rosehip - this could be a Rosa majalis - Cinnamon Rose (very rich in Vit C, odour of cinnamon) could also be Rosa moyesii - "Blood Rose" with bottle shaped rose hips Rosa foetida - if the flowers were yellow my guesses so far
