| So I was stalking the roses of my neighborhood (like you do, right?). I noticed this unusual looking rose in front of a neighbor's house. It has been in continual bloom probably for a month now. It has a noticeable fragrance when I smell it, but I have poor sensitivity to scents, so I cannot evaluate it further. It's hard to see in the photos, but the older growth nearer to the ground is darker green, glossier and thicker. I'm thinking this is probably a Cramosio Superieur China rose, based in part on this description (I am located in NC): "Cramoisi Suprieur or Agrippina, as it is sometimes still called, is one of the old roses that can often be found in country gardens of Texas and the South." |

| In person, I think the rose is a little more red than the apparently more purple-magenta that my camera shows. Here are two more flower details. |

| Final shot. These flowers are only about maybe 2 1/2 inches across. |

| Cramoisi Superieur, OR Louis Philippe, OR any one of a number of other, very similar, red Chinas. You'd be surprised to see how many red China Roses exist (named or un-identified). |
