Can Anyone ID a Mystery Rose ?

10 years ago

This is a mystery rose I got from RVR if anyone has any ideas please let me know. I believe it's a climber or rambler, the canes are very lax, and blooms are at the moment 1 inch.

Your rose looks similar to a rose in the Sacramento Cemetery, our found rose, "Dr Peck's 12th Avenue Smoothie" is thornless, once blooming. Very fragrant. This found rose is thought to be the same as the Charles Lawson in commerce. Below is a link to a photo I took in the cemetery a few years ago. I liked this rose so much that I propagated it and planted it in my yard even though it is a once bloomer. It is quite vigorous and now takes up the back corner along the fence. Here is a link that might be useful: Dr Peck's 12th Ave Smoothie/Charles Lawson

Here is a second rambler, threaded through an eleagnus. Though its growing conditions are unfavorable, this rose remains cheerful at all times, though it has really grown vigorously this year with the spring rain. It has bright green foliage with evergreen tendencies, flowers are a bit pinker than in the photo, keeping most of their color through their life, with no fragrance to speak of; the rose has at times had a few fall blooms, doesn't get disease that I recall, doesn't form hips that I remember.

what she said ... but IPM dictates ... integrated pest management ... suggests that you ID some harm to a plant.. before we even consider any remedy ... there are billions of things in the soil ... and mulch is just unfinished soil ... and we dont freak out when find them ... knowing for the sake of knowledge is great ... but action on our part.. requires some HARM to something ... a threat is not good enough ... dirtguy may have been trying to ask.. where are you ... big city name... usually helps narrow down things ... your pix are brilliant ... ken ps: e.g. spider mites.. are suckers... they suck plant fluids.. they would most likely .. never be found in soil/mulch ... in volume ... there just isnt anything to suck down there.. so there would be no ability to build a substantial population ...

I would email the pic to RVR and see what they think. They'll know what roses they have in stock which will narrow down the search.

Hi, Alana.

Hmmm. Cluster-flowered rambler perhaps? I haven't grown many ramblers. From what I can discern, your rose's foliage looks more Rosa wichuraiana hybrid than Rosa multiflora hybrid. I believe R. wichuraiana tends to produce leaves that are a bit more ovate and R. multiflora a bit more elongated and pointed. I also believe that R. wich hybrids tend to have glossier foliage. (Hopefully those on the forum who are rose ID authorities will jump in and correct any misinformation I am supplying.) I'm trying to get a good close look at the veining/serration. Does the foliage resemble the plant that was sent to you as Ghislaine? IF she is correctly identified, she's a R. multiflora hybrid. I believe RVR carries a number of light pink R. wichuraiana ramblers such as Dorothy Perkins and Minnehaha. If I were you, I think I'd perform an advanced search on RVR site's for light pink-medium pink (color is so variable) R. wichuraiana ramblers. Does this response help at all? If not, I noticed that Mendocino Rose is currently posting photos of all kinds of ramblers....

Thanks Carol, I will check their site again, you did help narrow it down more. No the foilage doesn't resemble Ghislane, hers are pointed and my mystery is more oval/ ovate like you said. I saw the post of the ramblers, but didn't see any that matched, but thanks for breaking it down more fore me! I could swear it was Minnehaha, but if you look at the unopened buds in the picture they have, it has red stuff on the outside of all and mine is all green.
