And is this trunk healthy? I've been doing research and it looks like a lot if dead wood however there are healthy stems growing from it so im confused whether to cut iy all out when i prune it

I can ask her sometime. She thinks she's got the info in a cellar file cabinet. I was curious as I am helping her while she recovers from some surgery. I believe it was within the past few years. We are in Zone 5a and she keeps her container plants in an unheated garage with a window for the winter. Could this rose be 'Penelope'? I'll help her move them from the two gallon pots (if she wants) in that later part of the summer or fall. Or, I suppose she could prune some of the root if she want to keep them small and in the 2 - 3 gallon pots? Thanks for your response. She's getting stronger, so perhaps it won't be but another few weeks before she can get around better.

I am probably wrong, but it reminds me of Kordes Perfecta as it will have those quilled petals (the pointy ones.) Is it fragrant? And can you add where you are to your user name? It makes it easier when we know your location. I bought a rose at Lowe's several years ago that was labeled Honey Bouquet, but the blooms were pink so I knew it was wrong. It was actually Aloha CL.

...just my observations but I agree with others that it's a dead ringer for 'Zephirine Drouhin'...going from the description.... and I assume this will be from the 1950's?... when I read earlier descriptions of this rose, they all seem to agree that it blooms until checked by frost and the disease issues that we see today, don't appear to have been such a problem in earlier times.... over here it's always put down to increased pollution kept these issues at bay, but today's cleaner air allows more black spot and mildew to proliferate... that's how I understand it... ....I can imagine in Shelbyville Texas, decades ago, this rose would have still been regarded as disease resistant... ...even here, it also grows to 8 foot or so in its first year.... all sounds about right...
