Any ideas on the identity of these roses? They are at Elmwood cemetery in Birmingham, Al. I have labeled them with the name on the headstone.

I thought the first one might be skyrocket, but I have no first hand experience with this rose.I took cuttings, so we'll see what happens.

Bloom: red, 2" in clusters, smells like honey.



Zeigler, 1927

Bloom: Pink with darker pink streaks, 4", smells clean and like citrus

WC Davis High School
