Mystery Roses ISO Names!

12 years ago

My husband and I just moved to a new house and it's a foreclosure, so we have no information from the previous homeowner. Along the sunny side of the house are 3 or 4 rose bushes. They are growing up and out over the grass. One of the bushes is climbing the deck, though I'm not sure if it's a rose or not. It's thorny, but the flowers don't look like typical roses. Anyway, I'm trying to figure out what they are, and what kind of care they need.

According to a neighbor they've been there for about 7 years, have had little to no maintenance since the original homeowners left 5 years ago, and they used to have a trellis they were climbing, but it was removed. If they're the climbing variety, I'd like to put a trellis back for them, but they might just be the bush kind that need a lot of pruning.
