My daughter purchased an older home to remodel into a daycare, and we found this rose growing in the overgrown garden there. I took a cutting and rooted it. This is the first blooms on it for me. If anyone recognizes it please let me know.
Thanks All,
Jan
It's a climber, not an over abundant amount of thorns and the photo gives you a pretty good idea of the foliage. The blooms are about 4 inches across when fully open. Jan
Jan, can you give us a little more information (fragrance), and photos of the bloom just as it opens? Also, photos of the next set of blooms (sometimes the first set of blooms are not a good representation). Thanks.
Thanks for your suggestion Jennifer, but Clair Matin appears to have reddish colored leaves and also blooms in clusters of blooms, my rose doesn't. I'm sure I'll never know what it is, just thought it was worth a try. :) Jan
One of the Wichurana derivatives of the 'Dr. W. Van Fleet' general persuasion. There's actually another named selection with an open-topped partly-formed-looking flower that I noticed in a planting near here once - the one shown here looks similar (not remembering the cultivar name at the moment). Or maybe it's an unnamed seedling somebody grew, that has never been on the market.
