Matt ...

No, I don't know the name of the rose. It came with the house. Actually, from the age of the plant and the other roses Mrs. J had planted in that bed and in a couple of other places on the property, the rose could have been bred long before the house was built. Two of the roses in that bed were bred in 1954, Queen Elizabeth and Tiffany.

I keep the rose because I love the color and bloom form and it is very, very fragrant. Also, because it is a survivor. Mrs, J's roses were deer-pruned for a couple of decades as she was in her 90s when I bought the house and she did not have any deer protection for them.

This is one of the few roses I cut for the vase and enjoy them inside because they fry too quickly outside.

Smiles,
Lyn
I'd rather weed than dust ... the weeds stay gone longer.
