Name That Rose!

Clustered pink rambler, ID?

17 years ago

Found a rose at the edge of a farmer's field. Didn't see it there last year, but it may have been mowed down. It looks very much like my Tausendschoen with these differences:

Instead of spring-green foliage, darker and a bit shiny.

Sprinkled with small white thorns.

Flowers are pink, but a darker, bubble-gum pink. 40 or so petals, smallish sized blooms like the Tau, also in clusters. Otherwise blooms are shaped the same, full and "ruffly."

I don't know how long/tall it will eventually get. It's 6-8 ft now.

Sorry I can't do a pic, but any experts have a guess or 2? Thanks!

Dorothy Perkins is the commonest found pink rambler by far & could fit this description, except I don't remember about the small white thorns.

My first response when I saw your post was 'Dorothy Perkins' or one of her relatives. DP has the shiny foliage, but rather large thorns. Glossy foliage on a rambler usually points to Wichurana heritage, though - anybody else have any thoughts?

Is it fragrant?

Looks like Dorothy Perkins. Thanks!

The thorns farther down the canes may match; it's growing up through a bunch of weeds and brush, and I haven't been able to investigate it that closely yet. Color and flowers sure look right.
