| A OLD house has been torn down about 8 miles from my house. I managed to get permission from the contractor/owner to dig up some old plants.
I dug up some daylily...not sure what it is, it has not bloomed yet, some bulbs and some roses. I have seen this same rose growing like crazy in misc. wild areas.. The blooms are little (about an inch), multi petal, bright pink roses. And they grow into HUGE bushes. A friend of mine has a rose exactly like this pink one but hers are bright yellow. She said it is a wild rose...hummmmmm I cannot post a picture right now. Hopefully someone can help me identify the rose without a picture...Does anybody know what kind of rose this is??? |

| Do the roses look like these? I have no idea what they are but I see them along the roads.
The folks on the Name That Plant Forum may be able to id this one. You could also try the Name That Rose Forum. |

| You may have the old Caldwell Pink rose. Do the older blooms had a slightly lavender color to them? Do a Google for Caldwell Pink. - Terry |

| Terry, I can only comment about the rose in the above pic. It fits the description of the unnamed climber, blooming only once in the spring.Caldwell Pink blooms continuously from mid-spring until killing frost. I hope that scandia will let us know if her found rose continuous to bloom. |

| I have seen this rose too growing along Hwy. 14 in Prattville. I went there a few days later and the grass was cut, and the roses were gone. :( I too wanted to ID it. Sharon |
