Hi Sheila, I'm hoping so, but if not, that's OK too. The property was purchased from the estate of a 98 year old who had owned it since built in 1962. There was evidence throughout the yard and old greenhouses that at one time there had existed many roses here, but this was the only one still living by the time I came to own this desert property, probably because it was near a rain gutter. I'm not convinced I want to put the effort into it because it seems to get thrips damage every single flower every single time. But the bees adore it. If I find out what it is I can make a more educated decision about whether to keep or SP, clearly it's very drought tolerant. It flowers heavily IMO with hardly any rest between flushes and is growing in poor lean soil and I've never fertilized it. Earlier today I took a cutting to see if it will root just for the experiment. It's kind of like being a rose rustler in my own backyard. :)

Seil - I’d be very surprised if it turned out to be Oklahoma. These blooms are a little smaller and, I agree with you, much pinker than I’ve seen on mine. The form before it opens is much more globular than Oklahoma too. On top of that, it’s survived 5b winters with no protection at all. Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!

This rose is going to be difficult to ID, because it looks like a lot of roses... have a look at Pink Enchantment (by Kordes) -- I don't think this is it, but it has a similar enough look that you might enjoy it in your garden. :)

The foliage looks rugose to me. If it is, that would make it a Rugosa or one of its kin, a Hybrid Rugosa. Does it have a strong clove fragrance? Moses
