Dr. Huey or something else?

17 years ago

I posted last year and was told my rose is a Dr. Huey. However, I keep reading that it's a once-bloomer and tends to climb. Mine really doesn't climb and it definitely isn't a once-bloomer. It blooms from late April on into September, I think even into October last year, given it was a late winter here in West TN. Also, it's got a pretty obvious perfume, and I've read that Dr. Huey's are more mild. The blooms look similar though, but I can never find a picture of the canes/buds that I feel look like my rose.

Here is a picture of it's first blooms last year. They are a tad more fuschia than the picture shows.

Here is it now, ready to bloom perhaps the last week of April?

Here's some buds and new leaves. The aphids are gone now, I took care of them.

I can see a graft line on the bottom, but these are all above that graft line.

Your photos are all of foliage, there are no blooms.
Going to link your photos so the next person doesn't have to copy & paste.

Oops, I am so sorry. I posted the wrong picture for the first. That is my new rose I just reclaimed from my great grandmother's deserted home/garden. I have no idea what it looks like at all bloomed, it has literally been covered by brush in the woods behind her house, which she had a garden in in the 30s.

But my original rose, here is the pictures of from August last year. The first flush, April/Mayish, tends to be a single, large rose atop each cane/branch and the subsequent flushes, which really seems like a constant bloom, there are bunches, maybe 6 or so, on the end of each cane/branch. The color is mostly true, but it's a tad more purple than the picture. It starts out really vibrant and then fades darker/purpley after a few days.

Is it possible that it's "Inge Pein"? I signed up for a HMF account and searched and found that one and what stood out to me was the leaves, as well as the flowers, looks identical to mine. The color and everything is the same, and mine has bunches of 6 or so buds on the end of each cane, typically, so could it be a polyantha? It doesn't always have multiple blooms, some of the lower ones only have a single one at the tip?
