Bikerdoc, thanks so much! Really? I looked through pictures trying to ID it and the spines really threw me off. They're so much longer than even the one's in your pics. Thats variation for you though I guess!

Looks like a very etiolated Anacampseros rufescens. I'm sure you can get more compact growth with more sun.

First plant is aloe Vera, not an agave... The plant in question looks like San Pedro, does it have roots?

Hi. More info is always helpful! : ) The green parts that cover the bud are the sepals, and they are very useful in ID'ing a rose. Did you click on photos at the above link and look at the photos of Paul Neyron? (Some people miss that there are more photos.) Others to look at: Magna Charta - but I think the prickles are reddish on this rose Yolande d'Arragon - but the leaves on this plant are more pointed than your plant's leaves - I think Baronne Prevost - but this plant is more arching than your plant, I think... I keep coming back to the fact that your plant is grafted so it is quite likely not an old garden rose as it appears. Perhaps it is an early David Austin? I don't know when his roses first were sold in the US, but one of my favorite Austins is Cymbeline and it was introduced in 1983. John Clare looks sort of like it (maybe not enough petals?) but it is from 1994 which isn't close to your time frame. If you go to Help Me Find, you can do an advanced search and look at just Austin roses, or you can enter plant characteristics and see if you can get an ID. Have fun! (I'll keep thinking...!)
