Rose ID - Rose with long leaves
Hello,
I am visiting family in Montreal and am always on the lookout for old and/or once blooming roses. I recently saw this pink rose (or at least what I believe is a rose) with long, supple leaves (almost fern-like) and short thorns toward the bottom of the plant. I believe it is once-blooming.
Smells heavenly, was over 9 ft tall, and I saw a similar shrub growing out of a hedge while out on a walk yesterday. I realize the photos are not optimal (will try to take some more today). Thank you in advance for your help!

Comments (11)The second one is just an old dying leaf. Chances are it's from the bottom or interior of the plant; otherwise there may have been some injury to the leaf stem. I pulled off some of those this morning just because I don't like looking at them. Everyone probably has leaves like this every year. Experienced growers don't notice them because they know the death of an old interior leaf is not a problem. Some varieties and classes of rose produce more of these mottled, dying leaves than others. I don't recall seeing them on hybrid teas much if any. If the first one is just one leaf, I wouldn't worry about it. Various accidents can befall individual leaves, including malfunction of interior systems. If more like that develop, take a sample to the ag extension office. The fact that the midrib stays green indicates that it is not a disease, possibly a severe deficiency symptom, or burn from the excess of something, such as ammonium nitrogen. Again, this might result from a malfunction of that particular leaf....See MorePlease ID small peachy pink - yellow fragrant rose, shiny leaves
Comments (3)I can ask her sometime. She thinks she's got the info in a cellar file cabinet. I was curious as I am helping her while she recovers from some surgery. I believe it was within the past few years. We are in Zone 5a and she keeps her container plants in an unheated garage with a window for the winter. Could this rose be 'Penelope'? I'll help her move them from the two gallon pots (if she wants) in that later part of the summer or fall. Or, I suppose she could prune some of the root if she want to keep them small and in the 2 - 3 gallon pots? Thanks for your response. She's getting stronger, so perhaps it won't be but another few weeks before she can get around better....See MorePlease ID this rose with long canes
Comments (6)Coloring is quite like 'Ghislaine de Feligonde'. However I am used to that being well armed, and I don't remember it having bent necks much. Useful posting instructions: http://faq.gardenweb.com/discussions/2766528/how-can-i-identify-a-found-unknown-mystery-rose...See MoreSamuellaZ6a

10 months agolast modified: 10 months ago@ SamuellaZ6a congratulations! That's a good call on a great rose! Hopefully this may make future identifications a bit easier. The growth at the bottom of the leaf mid rib is a "stipule". Roses, except for Hulthemia, which you will never encounter in Zone 6, all have stipules at the base of their foliage where it attaches to the cane. Stipules vary greatly in shape and size, but they are always present. Have a great visit!
