Yes, it's some kind of Sans. hahnii (w/ which I do badly); you've done well by the plant. These plants (Sans.) prefer to be tight in their pots, so many folks leave them in the same pots until the roots literally break out the bottom of the pot. If they're sensitive to anything, it's overwatering, you've found a good balance for your plant. Sounds like you should keep doing the same as you've been doing & this little pup (baby plantlet) will do well.

Carol, I have Pickering's Four Seasons so know it's not the same. catspa, eureka! I think you found it. Baron de Bonstatten wasn't listed when I bought it but is available this year and I actually have it on reserve. It's a fantastic rose even with my conditions. Says it can be grown as a climber too. Maybe I'll use it with Florence Bower's Pink Tea on the other side of the arch. Thanks for checking Jan's rose list. Good detective work. You get the Miss Marple award. Diane

Hi HDD and Lisa, Thanks a lot for the feedback. HDD, the plant belongs to a friend of many years who is very, very ill and has been in and out of hospital since early last year and she asked me to see if I could find anyone to ID her plant. The leaves must be naturally shiny as I only washed the leaves in water to remove some dust and waited till they dried before I took the pic. I also forgot to mention that it is only quite small, about 12 inches overall the whole plant and about 8 inches high from the bottom of the pot to the top of the leaves. It is growing beneath 50% green shade cloth which gets the sun from 0900 - 1500 and doesn't get any other shade. Lisa, that's the only pic I have and it was taken with my old camera which I could never use to good effect. I have tried to make the flower a bit bigger so you can see it better and maybe help in the ID. All the best, Nev.

If you have a cut piece of stem, you can stick the bottom in the ground or you can just lay it on it's side, and either way, the stem will most likely (given the right conditions like enough light) grow new rosettes and roots. In nature they'll fall over being top-heavy, and whatever is in contact with some soil will root and the plant will keep going. This is a very easy plant in Southern California. As cactusmcharris points out, it could be in its summer dormancy yet, which would make the rosette more compact. It make loosen up and look different when it starts growing again.
