ID for antique rose found growing in the "wild"?

9 years ago
last modified: 9 years ago

I collected this one in Mcminn County, Tennessee. Climber. It is carefree as they come, originally found growing at the edge of the woods. The best rose for the area that I've come across (Deserves the "Earthkind" label...). Sweetly fragrant.

I originally thought 'Seven Sisters' because of the color mutability, but upon closer consideration, it is not a multiflora hybrid. The petioles are not fringed, but smooth and quite long, and it also has large-ish, barrel shaped, hips.
