| that's Dorothy Perkins, a large once blooming rambler that roots easily from cuttings and mildews easily as well. |

| It's pretty when it blooms, isn't it? It's a shame it mildews so much. You'll often see a cherry red-pink rose blooming on roadsides, too, called Excelsa or Red Dorothy Perkins. |

| Thank you! The rose is indeed impressive. Do you think it just escaped from somebody's gardens? |

| Dorothy Perkins has escaped from gardens around here. I often see it growing in front of abandoned homes or where there used to be houses. But it's so vigorous it often ends up a long way from where it started! |
