    Thanks Altorama. That's a $5 Walmart rose, it can take the street salt during the winter months.

    Love them. Especially the Micrugosa Alba!

  • 7 years ago

    I have a few more than this (I think) but either they haven't bloomed in a while, or I just haven't taken their picture.

    “possibly betty prior” I got it as a mislabelled bare root and it is vigorous and wants to be a big shrub. I keep it pruned back to about 4 1/2 ft . It is one of the last roses to finish blooming around November.

    What a magical thread this is; there are so many beautiful and lesser-known singles available. There are half a dozen here that I would love to have.

    gardenut, that could be Betty. Does it grow tall and rise above it's foliage? Do the flowers change colour? That's the habit of my BettyPrior still in a pot. Beautiful pictures. I'll see if I can dig up a few from last year, but most of them are already represented. I adore the singles and semi's. Does anyone here receive the singles Newsletter? I'll look for the link on my phone later if anyone's interested.

    It does rise above it’s foliage and the shade of pink varies. nearly wild was suggested at one point but this rose leans more toward Betty prior.

    Now I want a few more...

  • 7 years ago

    I know. Lavender Mist is on my "want" list now, but only available from RVR.

    Haha it is on my list as well! Among others!

  • 7 years ago

    These are all so charming! The only I have blooming at the moment is Dogwood (she’s only been in the ground a few months, but is in a hurry to set buds!)
