Old Rose Identification

linjon zone 5
13 years ago

I have an old rose that my Great Grandmother planted. She was born in 1855 and died in 1944 so the rose has to be from that time frame. It grows to be about 6' tall and has multiple blooms once a year usually in the last week of June through the 1st week of July. I have posted this message on the Rose ID site and they suggested I post it here. The rose bush does have thorns and rose hips. I was able to get a few slips of this rose bush and the bush in the photos are of one of the "babies" of the mother plant. I got the slips in 2009. The mother plant is much bigger.

I have posted photos of my rose bush if anyone would like to see them they are on flicker. Here is a link to the photos.
