This plant showed up in the same pot as some roses that my mum bought me in a garden centre. Little black berries and white flowers. They're hardly blueberries, are they?
Thats one of the belladonna family and highly poisonous .

The “Picture This” app is great for identification.

One of the Solanums. Related to the potato. Also to the nightshades….do NOT eat the berries, they are likely to be poisonous.

This looks like a black nightshade (*Solanum nigrum*). Leaves and berries are poisonous: rarely fatal, but still quite a bit poisonous. I think the unripe berries are the most poisonous part. It behaves a bit like a weed and seeds can be carried around by birds. That’s probably how it started growing in the same pot as the rose.
