It's gorgeous!!! I hope you get an ID!

My kinda rose!

Wow, no idea what it is but very beautiful!

Gorgeous!

The flowers and the leaves look a great deal like an old hybrid tea (1936), 'Snowbird' (https://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=2.5840&tab=1), which blooms most of the year in my garden, too.

My guess is also 'Snowbird'. Its a fairly common rose in warmer climates, and survives in near-total neglect.

'Snowbird' makes sense to me, as well. We found some huge ones, growing next to a house built circa 1920.

If it's 'Snowbird'. it's disease resistant, vigorous, and a great bloomer.

At one time, it was THE top exhibition HT in California.

The experts know better but to me it looks like either Sombreuil' rose or Devoniensis . I think more like Sombreuil.

Ooh, that’s exciting-I have Snowbird coming in spring!!!!!

Alana, I ALWAYS think of 'Sombreuil, Cl.' first. But its petals tend to be more longer/narrower. I honestly think in this case, 'Snowbird' is a better guess.

BUT . . . though both are fragrant, the fragrances are very different. 'Sombreuil, Cl. ("Colonial White") has an overwhelming sweet green apple fragrance, while I find 'Snowbird' to be sweeter and more subtle.

In the first picture the petals look more thinner, or narrow, to me. But I haven't grown either, so like I said I bow to the experts.

I said 'Snowbird' mainly because of the messy HT architecture evident in the photo above and the foliage style. 'Sombreuil' is quite different in its architecture/foliage. Otherwise, I can see why someone would think it was 'Sombreuil'.

That's most likely what it is Paul. Like I said. I bow to the experts, I know you both have grown, more Rose's, and for alot longer than me. And I have grown neither. But that first picture just looked like sombreuil to me, only because it's one I have looked at it alot lately, because I'm thinking of adding it to m collection. Ya'll are the experts, in the forum, and have alot more experience than I do.

Sombreuil was my guess, both for flower and plant. How thorny is it?

I have a baby Snowbird, but I definitely didn’t plan a spot for a 10x10 ft rose in my climate! It’s spot is good for 3ft rose. I am happy to hear it blooms all the time in warm climates.

Jeri, so glad to hear that. I ordered one for this spring and wondered how tall it is. 4 feet is a perfect size for my small garden. Thank your very much.

That picture of snowbird is beautiful Jeri!

Jeri, if it looks like the one in the cemetery I’ll be happy :-) I love white roses.

Don't forget, there's 'Snowbird', the shrub, and 'Snowbird, Cl', the climbing (and much larger) sport.

Paul's right. The bushes we found in The Valley were very tall, but we think they were bushes.
