texas rose

18 years ago

My family lives down near the coast of Texas and I generally see these bushes with flowers like Roses. They even have that rose-type smell. I do know that if you take a small sucker it will take off and grow into a huge bush with tones of thorns...What is this "Rose"?

I am dissappointed the Fort Worth Rose Society missed this. The Texas Rose Rustlers will be coming to Fort Worth on Oct 25/26. Now is the time to get ready for their autographs. I don't believe their website is updated, but its true that they are on their way. They will be making their appearance at the Fort Worth Botanical gardens. TRR please add more to help us prepare for your arrival, and...we sure appreciate the sacrifice you all are making to be in Fort Worth after Hurricane Ike hit. Thanks TRR.

The color and substance remind me very much of First Prize too, I thought about posting. But the form is more rounded and this rose has more petals. Could we see more shots with foliage? I’m quite familiar with First Prize’s leathery foliage.
