A visitor to my garden asked if I would like a couple of old roses she had in pots. I said sure, since I'm willing to give any rose a home, and then forgot about it because people say stuff like that in casual conversations and nothing comes of it. I don't know her, tho I've seen her at plant sales. But yesterday while I was out she dropped off this and an Oeillet Panachee. Oeillet was clearly labeled Striped Moss. It too is in bloom and could verify it. But this one's label has faded into what looks like Old Shirt or Cold Start on one line and Rose R/R hgusta (maybe a misspelling of Rugosa, which it defiitely is not) on the next line. It is in 3 gal pot and it is suckering. Thin, floppy canes like RdV. Medium fragrance. It is much more mauve than my photo shows and 2" across. That's a 10" wrench I have it propped up in.
