Hey! My mom had one of those when I was growing up. Where are you in Illinois? I wish I could get a cutting from you.

Does not look like Seven Sisters.

Does not look like seven sisters to me either??

HI Patricia.

Patricia and Irish Rose--

Thanks for your interest. Yes, it bothered me, too. Please check out the discussion thread by the same name, particularly the Dec. 7, '04 entry, to clear this up.

it looks like my seven sisters, does it 'attack' when you go by?

Momcat--
Yes ma'am, it attacks--the worst is trying to mow around and under it!

Hi. I'm new to this forum. Much confusion abounds over the Seven sisters rose. Mine, just planted 5 yr. ago,has been in full bloom about a month, 20' ft. of solid bloom, started out cream and pink. Then added mauve, dark pink and eventually muted shades of purple. Just lovely. Mine looks like the pic on The Antique Rose Emporium's web site. The mockingbirds are nesting in it this spring. It has at least 20 rooted canes on the ground. Best regards.

Hey! We sing Sacred Harp in Savannah, too!
I have a seven sisters rose growing from cuttings taken from our farm. The original plant was from a start given to my daughter from a gentleman at church who's since passed away. The rose grew along the fence by our front gate and was absolutely beautiful in bloom.
