| my 95 year old neighbour has had this rose for well over 60 years. She thinks it gets some later blooms, but is not sure. There is a slight fragrance, and when I took this picture every single stem has one or two buds to it.. not a floribunda but heavily budded. It has withstood the moist salt air in this area of Nova Scotia for that long, is healthy and strong. It cannot be a climber because surely after all those years it should be much larger? Can anyone guess what its name might be? I seem only able to post one picture. Will try a second post with another picture. Leaves very shiny, not rugosa-type at all. She never sprays. |

| Your rose reminds me of a once blooming rose that grew on Cape Ann in Massachusetts before 1940 that was called American Beauty although that rose was definitely not the rose that is described as American Beauty on this website. Cath |

| If it has one big bloom period, it's Dr.W. Van Fleet. If it blooms repeatedly, it's New Dawn. What I can see of the leaves shows it is clearly in that family of roses. Jill |
