I don't know, but I rustled some from a rose looking amazingly similar coming home from work today, and am attempting to strike eight little cuttings in a pot.
Its growth habit reminds me of a Once blooming Bourbon.
Mine has that delicious fruity rosy bourbon scent, too.
It fades from vivid pink to a nice mauve lavender

Thanks albinnibla, the fragrance is very light, and musty, almost like a florist carnation.

It looks like a China to me just based on what I can see. Could it be Archduke Charles or even Old Blush? What size are the blooms?

I know this rose, but it usually is fragrant. The flowers are attractive but not especially substantial. I always assumed it was Shailers Provence. It suckers freely and when possible taking a sucker with a few roots is a better route to go than cuttings.--Sam

By the way, this rose may only bloom once a year, but the blooms are plentiful and it will grow not only in considerable shade, but also within the dripline of a black walnut!

Thanks Rinaldo and Patricia for your suggestions. After researching these, the "Shailers Provence" is very close, BUT! there is no scent other than very slight carnation smell.
Think I will make another trip today to see if I can find thorns, approx. height, and spreading traits.

Shailer's Provence is a centifolia. I am sure Texans have probably grown them but not as likely as it would be a China in that area. I would send a picture to Chamblees. They will know immediately.

If it only blooms once, obviously it is neither of the roses you suggest Patricia. I only suggested Shailers because mine was found in Gladewater, TX.

You are in all likelihood right. I think it would be good to know how large or small the bloom but (interestingly enough) maybe my Cl Old Blush is Shailer's because it only blooms once and looks exactly like this rose and it came from Tyler, Texas.

Wondering if it could be Scottsville Rose? Mine is blooming now, and it looks similar. It was found near Marshall, Tx. Send photo to Greg Grant @ SFA University arboretum in Nacogdoches - he can tell you.

Do as Alameda says but measure the bloom and count petals and get good pictures of sepals, leaves, etc.

I would say the blooms are about 2.5 - 3" in diameter, are carried in 2 to 3 on a lateral stems, coming off the main lax. arching canes. The leaves are larger, and serrated on the edges, but the new growth is not red, as Chinas can be. Where the leaves meet the stem, they have that little V-leaf. It was not very thorny, if at all.
The sepals are rather long, with the buds being globular.

Okay, after looking on HMF, I am pretty sure Rinaldo correctly ID'd the rose. Shailer's provence looks just like the one I got. :) Thanks!
