Help with Identification of Old Garden Roses
Comments (14)Hi, Mary. I used to live and garden in MN, too. (Minneapolis) First, I'd like to say that your R spinosissima is lovely! I currently grow Stanwell Perpetual,. MN is where I learned to appreciate him and all his tough and beautiful siblings and cousins. I love how Scot's Roses sail through harsh winters and then produce showers of bloom come springtime. A more welcome sight I can't imagine. I love their lacey foliage and their sweet, delicate blossoms that are a little wild. And I love their history. I'm thinking that your R spinosissima might be a named variety or it might not. There are many, slightly different double blush to double pinks dotted across the lands where R spinosissima varieties are grown and cultivated. Settlers traveled with seeds or seedlings which would produce roses varying from the original plants as well as cutting grown clones. It might be helpful to Google "Peter Boyd roses." You'll find literature written by a R spinosissima expert. Boyd said this about doubles: ." The first coloured variants of R. spinosissima were found in the wild and described in the 17th century but no double forms were available from nurseries until the early 19th century. Joseph Sabine (1822) described their early history." I tried to insert the Boyd quote as a link so you can read the rest of the article. I would be absolutely thrilled to see more of your found and gifted roses, and I look forward to reading what you learn about your very special heirlooms! Carol Addition: Oh! I see Comtesse also linked to Boyd in her comment above. Two great minds! :-)...See MoreHelp with identification please

5 years agoKara has the winning and correct answer, I think. I was going to call it a Pedilanthus but I understand some whippersnapper moved all of those into The Mother Family of Euphorbia.
Ken, sorry to hear that you don't like links.
Sometimes we can't directly share a picture, but must link to it, and (at least with me) assigning a related name to that link is the sensible thing to do. Rather than just grumpusing about it, maybe you can tell us why you feel so.
