Actually, my understanding is that multiflora is considered to be more
susceptible to rose rosette than any other rose. If it is heathly, it
is unlikely to be carrying the disease.

Alice's rose is definitely rosa mulitflora!

I never said it wasn't. My comment was aimed at the comment about not
wanting a multiflora because "it is a carrier of a mite that might carry
a virus...", not with the identification. It certainly looks like
multiflora to me.
