For several years (3 or 4) I have been attempting to identify this

PICTUREhttp://www.rogerandpeggy.com

It is Dr. Huey, without a doubt. I know the growth habit, flower form
and color. Common rootstock. There is a huge one growing in my
neighborhood on the fence of the NC Governor's mansion. Makes nice big
red hips in the winter. Nice rose. Keep it if you like it.

Shiva, are you quite sure? I looked at this picture earlier and
immediately elmiminated the possibility of its being Dr. Huey. The color
isn't what I'm familiar with from my own plants (I grow three of them---I
really like it!), though I suppose the bright pink could be a digital
color irregularity, but in checking the photo samples at helpmefind
roses, I don't see any Dr. Hueys that come close to this color.

I grow Dr. Huey in California. My specimens are dark burgundy with bright
yellow contrasting stamens, barely semi-double. My flower form isn't
quite as multiply petalled as this version, doesn't grow in clusters like
this one, and the leaf pattern isn't as dark green or quilted as this
variety. These leaves seem thinner than mine as well. Mostly it's the
color that doesn't look like Dr. Huey to me.

I wonder whether this rose repeats and whether there's any fragrance?
Perhaps the original poster would let us know.
