Rubus ulmifolius subsp. sanctus, often called holy bramble, is a type of bramble plant. It grows naturally in parts of Asia and Europe.

This plant is known for living a very long time. One famous example can be found at the Chapel of the Burning Bush on Mount Sinai. People believe this specific plant is the original burning bush mentioned in the Bible. Its long life and special location gave it the Latin name "sanctus," which means "holy."
