Hi, all.

I have a red rose that I've started from a cutting out of my grandma's yard. She said most of them were there before she ever moved in nearly 60 years ago.

This particular one starts our deep red while it is just opening up. When it is fully open is lightens up to a sort of raspberry color. The leaves aren't shiny. The most unusual aspect of the rose is that its smell is very intense. It has a strong citrus/old rose scent to it that you almost can't stick your nose into the flower for.

Any ideas?

Thank you for helping me with my pink rose hoovb.
