I agree, Elfie's description fits Oklahoma better than any other

I lost the original post - what did Elfie say about fragrance? If it

Hello, Daniel!

Elfie said nothing about fragrance that I can recall - my deduction and
agreement with MMMavocado's identifying it as Oklahoma is based on the

Francisco - here is the original post:

I am trying to locate a rose that was around in the 60's that is
almost black. My father had a rose bush in San Francisco in the 60's
and always wanted to grow them --- so now I am taking over his
mission. Thank you.
