I got this rose along with an old Dorothy Perkins off an old property. It had a lot of bushog damage when I got it. Prefers fall pruning, soft leaves, blooms once I am pretty sure, as I spent two years spring pruning and never got a bloom. Fall pruned last year and got blooms this year. This rose bush was planted over 50 years ago. Please help identify. The long canes growing up and out are this roses. |

| Possibly R. setigera (spelling?) or a hybred of it? |

| Certainly does have some R. setigera characters. |

| The flower is right for it, but the leaves look different. Mine has soft, kinda fuzzy feeling leaves. I really want to know what this is. Waited for a long time for it to bloom. Driving me nuts. |

| Another guess - Rosa blanda? It would be very cool if it was because I believe it is a threatened species in a couple of states. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Rosa blanda

| The leaf color and texture are right, but my leafy sections have 3 leaves and some have 5 leaves. It is very close though. It isnt as thorny as that one either, but I believe we are getting closer. The flower and petal count are also on the money, just the leaf count is off. |

| That leaf count is tricky . . . hmmm, how fragrant is it? Would you be able to post pictures of the stems? I am understanding your frustration :) |

| Barely a scent.(I put my nose right up to a flower) The leaf count is funny. I also notice that the bottom of the leafs have a reddish streak sometimes orangish color.(note in first pic.) Some of the canes are reddish, some purple and some green. This rose has me baffled.

| My setigera has 5-leaflet leaves. They are down fairly far, but they are there. There are also thornless forms of setigera, though I seem to be growing only ultra-thorny ones here. Remember, there is going to be a certain amount of variation between individual plants. This is probably a seedling, not a clone like the usual garden roses. So the picky little details of thorniness, stipule shape, stipule color, etc. will have natural variations. |

| I will mark it as R. Setigera. Thank you everyone for your help. Now my 2 unknowns are identified. Will have another for identification next year, got it out of the woods, but it isnt a briar rose. We will see what it does. Thanks again...Mandy |
