Found OGR, hardy

I bought this rose at an off-the-beaten-path nursery in southern Maine last summer. The owner told me it was a cutting of a rescued rose they saved when an old house in town was about to be demolished.

I have a feeling it may be common, just for the fact that it's obviously very hardy to survive many winters in Maine.

I have just started getting into OGRs, so I don't even know what class it's in.

The nursery had this rose climbing over an archway, so I assume it can get quite tall. It had just a little tip dieback after last winter. My specimen is now about 4' tall.

Ignore the glossy leaves--those belong to 'Eden', who this rose is intermingling with on my trellis:

A pic of the leaves. They are a dull green.

Another pic of leaves. This shows 7 leaflets coming off a basal break, but the rose has many 5-leaflet shoots.

One more flower:

The rose is very fragrant. The owner did say it's a once-bloomer.
