My Seek application (by Inaturalist) identified this as china rose. Does not look anything like the photograph in the database therefore I'm in question.

Growing wild? Or in a garden?

There are a whole class of roses called "china roses" and many sub-classes.

The definition in the HelpMeFind glossery is:

[From The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Roses, pp. 21-22:] A group based on two wild roses from China, R. chinensis and R. gigantea... mainly due to their recurrent flowering... Chinas, teas, noisettes, bourbons, hybrid perpetuals, hybrid teas and climbing hybrid teas...

The china roses brought the repeat blooming gene into the rose pool for European breeders.

Yes, growing wild/escape?

If the rose was growing "wild" it is probably a "bird drop" ...

I doubt if it is a species rose in that there are around 200 roses in the world classified as species roses. Species roses generally have a "single" bloom form ... five petals. Some have mutated to have more, but I don't know of any species roses with the number of petals shown in your photograph.

It looks like a Wichuriana type of rambling rose. Rambling roses were ridiculously popular in the early 1900's, and were mostly bred from R. wichuriana and R. multiflora. Yours looks a lot like 'Excelsa' AKA 'Red Dorothy Perkins'.

Nice i.d. After I found these I've been seeing them everywhere. I traveled to the Wilmington area this week, and I saw them many times.
