Hello everyone. I have a rose that has been in my family for 3 or 4 generations.
All I know about it is this:

It blooms once in early May just before Mother's Day in my zone 6
It blooms on old canes
The fragrance is very light to medium depending on weather conditions
My great or great great grandparents brought the original rose bush over from Germany and it has been passed on through the following generations
The one I have is from one that is 61 or 62 years old. It was rooted from one my grandmother had.

Any help would be appreciated. I am trying to find out through the older members of my Mom's family but might not learn anything other than which part of Germany they came from and when they came to America.

Thanks Margaret
