For several years (3 or 4) I have been attempting to identify this
rose- -with never a clear cut answer.

PICTUREhttp://www.rogerandpeggy.com

STORY:

Four years ago, I had to be away for seven weeks medical treatment and
the deer devastated my roses. This one came back from below the
graft. It flushes from Spring until Frost. Each hip produces a
single seed. It is disease resistant and requires little care.
Insects do not seem to like it.

It is reasonable to assume it is probably a rootstock, but is it? And
if so what?

Someone suggested a "Dr Something-or-other" (forgot the name) but the
pictures I found did not match.

We refer to it as the wild rose, and it is a once bloomer but that is
all season. This picture taken in Auguest.(Zone 7)

Any help will be appreciated.

It's not rootstock if it repeats. What I think it is is Robin Hood, a
hybrid musk rose that is commonly sold ownroot and widely available. The
trusses of blooms and color and foliage all match. You can see additional
pics at http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/pl.php?n=5233 to see if it matches.
I think it does.
