Yes, please, more photos. Only c. 25% of the identification process is completed by the bloom alone, the leaves, prickles, and growth habit tells much more. photos of - an18 inch length of a cane, showing foliage and prickles -the entire bush, to show growth habit with a ruler by both to show size would be very helpful. There are more than 7 thousand different types of rose, so getting an I.d from photos of blooms is unlikely unless they are one of the very most common types of rose, such 'Iceberg; or 'Knock Out' Thanks for posting photos of your roses, they are very pretty.

The rose was planted by my Granddaddy Mosley (Mother's father) many years prior to his death in 1982. While I don't remember when, I saw the rose many times while growing up. It was planted in an old tire beside the house. It didn't receive much sun in it's later years. I spoke to my Mother this morning, she believes Granddaddy planted it between 1950 and 1955. After his death, the rose received little or no care. In the spring of 2008 my mother's friend, Preston, took the only green shoots off the old stalk and was successful in rooting them in water. He planted the 2 which survived in front of my Mother's old flower bed. I took some cuttings from them this spring and have 2 surviving in pots right now. Below are pictures of this rose. Please help me identify it. As I have said, it is a very resilient rose and one I hope to propagate and distribute among my family. Meet Rosa Lee and Durham -- My Grandmother and Granddaddy (that is what we call these roses. Rosa Lee is a bit puny Rosa Lee's bloom This is Durham - blooming more than Rosa Lee and few yellow leaves Close-up of Durham Durham blooms and buds ingrid_vc and petaloid postulated this may be a President Herbert Hoover and suggested I follow-up on HelpMeFind. I appreciate their assistance. They also suggested it may be Talisman, Signora and Sutter's Gold. After comparing the pictures (I can't see the roses right now as they are 200 miles from me), I can't tell about the coloration BUT seems to me the "real thing" is much more pink. My color seeing abilities are not the greatest but I think they are solid pink. I thought this might be the best forum to post in --- didn't see it until I had already posted in the main forum.

For the rose slugs, pick and squish while you wait for the good predator bugs to show up and gobble them down. They usually come a couple weeks after the rose slugs appear--unless you have been spraying insecticides in the past and therefore killed off most of the "good guys" also. In which case, pick and squish. As for the other pics, I don't really know, but I do know that in my garden, some of those things are passing problems, so I don't worry a lot about some of them. However, it does help to dead-head the blooms that have finished blooming--makes the whole plant look neater. Kate

Hello, i thought i would add some more photos from this year. I forgot to mention in my initial post that the rose suckers—and that when moved to a different location, the rose sprouts again (sucker about 2ft to the left of the original rose below). My MIL notes that the rose appears to have suckered 4 times since it was moved from St. Louis in 1987, but I am wondering if this change now that it is getting more regular attention since I’ve rallied the family to care for it more (I do what I can when I visit, like mulching and fertilizing, but I live 3 hours away). The rose definitely gets crud and defoliates, but is still tough as nails.
