Rose with three leaflets

18 years ago

Does anyone know of any roses that have but three leaflets to a leaf?

I was sent a cutting of a mystery rose that a fellow GW friend has, she is calling it "Carter Rose" for now, and it seems all the leaves are threes.

I will have to get some pictures of it to attach to this post, but I am thinking that this odd characteristic should at least narrow it some.

Any help?

can't think of any off hand... it's not unusual for roses to have fewer leaflets until they mature. Post PIX for us.

I am sorry to be SOOOOO late on this, multiple problems here at home, but hopefully things have settled a bit!

Here are some pictures she sent of the flowers.

Afraid they are not the clearest pictures, but all we have to work with so far. In the last picture it appears that there are some branches with five leaves in the back, I will have to ask if the had others in the cutting bucket that day or if it was all one rose, if I can find out, I will post.
