Name That Rose!

Fragrant pink roses with crazy canes

16 years ago

These rosebushes have clearly been living in our front yard for many years -- they were already huge when we bought the house. They send out very long canes, which do not seem to actually climb up anything (even when I've tried to train them onto the porch). They have large nasty thorns. They are repeat bloomers, and the flowers are rather small but smell incredibly sweet. Does anyone have a name for them? Thank you so much in advance.

Definately looks like "Cecile Brunner" to me. It can eat a house or in my case a 30 foot fence line! Great hardy "Old" (Into: 1881) rose that is still popular today and sold at almost all rose nurseries.

It needs constant trimming to keep it in bounds. Mine is on its own roots and has a crown the size of a tree trunk *lol*

I forgot to mention that it is listed as a once bloomer, but in warmer climates it will bloom off and on through out the season. In the spring it puts on a fantastic bloom with just small bursts the rest of the season for me.

Here is a link at HelpMeFind.com:

"Cecil Brunner"
