Possibly 'Martha Gonzales'?

I'll post in the GW Name That Rose forum and see if anyone recognizes it.

Bostedo, I think the leaf of mine looks considerably different, although the bloom is similar to the Martha Gonzales.

It may be the root stock of a hybrid tea that died. Dr. Huey is often used in grafting roses. This link may help.

You might be right, Jandineratx. Someone on the NTR forum thinks that's what it might be, too, especially in the dappled sun setting it lives in.

You might also check out Nur Mahal.

I love my Nur Mahal rose! It is pretty easy to ID because the large cerise, semi-double blooms are very fragrant and the bush is totally thornless. A great rose!

My bush definitely has thorns, so probably not a Nur Mahal. Yours is lovely though, Jardineratx.

I remember Nur Mahal having a fragrance unlike any other rose. It smells like sweetpeas.

Is Nur Mahal ever blooming? I need a thornless rose. I have just about had it with a potted Knockout Rose that has thorns like sabers. I can't figure out where to put it because of the horrible thorns.

Yeah, if it has thorns it is probably Dr. Huey.

I remember Nur mahal as having three or four big flushes of bloom a season.

Valentine was my favorite rose for health, beauty, its ever blooming quality, and thornlessness. Not much fragrance though.

Nur Mahal does repeat bloom, but will languish if kept in a container for too long. It easily grows beyond 6 foot and has arching canes and would be best grown in ground.

Valentine will work very well as a container rose, and is repeats bloom all year. I like Phaleonopsis (from Antique Rose Emporium) for a container rose. It does have thorns, but not the large hooked thorns of Knockouts.
