I have an unknown that I received as William Baffin in a trade. I like it, and I have a guess as to what it could be, but I'm not sure. Red fading to deep fuschia, the few thorns are very long and red. Leaves are smallish and shiny. Most of the blooms are three inches wide, but some of them can be a bit larger. It's winter hardy and drought hardy. The blooms don't last very long, but the plant is a survivor. I believe it has tet. pollen.

I also have my random pink old garden rose.

Its about 4 feet tall growing neglected in sandy soil. Lots of small prickles, and balsamy buds. Flowers are pink and well-formed and fade in color as they age. They are also about three inches wide, too, and smell like old garden rose. The first cane came up in an empty corner of my yard the spring after I moved in. Long-lived roots? Leaves are matte. I've seen it growing feral by the railroad tracks and untended in other yards. The pollen will set pods on Tet. roses, and it will OP, but it won't accept pollen from other roses.

I would love to hear what you think they could be.

Thanks in advance, Marbree.
