Hi - thank you, I have now added it to the correct Forum! Sorry, new here and finding my way around. Best wishes.

adiro, your rose looks almost identical to my Coral Dawn climber I bought this year, right down to your description of the nodding blooms! Check the link below to see if the pictures at HelpMeFind match your rose. I would do as yorkrose suggests, and just mound soil around it until Spring. Then you can dig it up and replant deeper, or continue to mound it well over the winter. You might lose some cane over the winter, when the danger of frost is passed in the Spring you can prune off the dead parts. The rose will regrow if the bud union is not damaged. Your final problem is rose slugs! Those little devils are hungry, for sure. You can handpick them, squishing them or throwing them into the yard, or you can spray for them. Just remember that anything you spray for them will also be harmful to good bugs, and that they are not actually caterpillars but larvae of the sawfly.

Tisha had started a new thread about this rose with another photo. I love Oklahoma, but even though the color looks similar, there are other aspects that make me think she has a different variety. Oklahoma usually has more petals that reflex back a bit and the sepals have a few fringes, while those on her rose appear smooth. Even so, you could be right. On the new thread I was guessing it could be Crimson Glory. Here is a link that might be useful: new thread

With such a low petal count, it eliminates a lot of the pink roses I know. Does it have much of a fragrance? Dave.
