Some Mystery Roses in the town of Niles

A couple of us will be starting to see what roses might be living in the town of Niles (actually a district of Fremont, now, but a town in spirit). There are lots of roses, fruit and nut trees, and interesting plants growing there, perhaps some which were purchased from the California Nursery Company which is a short distance away. The town was established sometime after the 1870's when the Transcontinental Railroad came through the canyon.


The other day, I stopped to look at a large rose bush which I was hoping it was a La Marque, growing with a white Lady Banks. Then across the street were 3 roses in an alley, probably not well taken care of. I'm pretty new at rose ID, so here they are. I am sending flowers now, but have leaves and overall shrubs. Just didn't want to upload too many if not needed.

First, the big climbing rose:

Then I think the next two are the same:


Third one:

Fourth one:

That looks pretty modern, but must be pretty tolerant of neglect.
