What kind of rose is this?
I have a very old (my neighbors say it has been around for 20+ years -
long before we moved in) climbing rose that I need help identifying. I believe it is a once-blooming variety, but I can't be sure because last summer was the first time anyone fed it or pruned it in years. Here are links to 2 pictures that I took last summer. Any help would be appreciated! http://picasaweb.google.com/greatyet...65696702128914 http://picasaweb.google.com/greatyet...65700997096226 |

You might try this link and do an advanced search on what you do know about the rose (climber, color, number of petals). The photos provided at the site might help you match up your blooms. http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/roses.php Gail near San Antonio TX Zone 8 USA |

I wonder if it is rootstock. Most roses are grafted onto a rootstock
(because they are breeding for color, not roots). Sometimes it can take over the original rose (especially after 20 years). You can usually tell by the small red roses, and sometimes the leafs are smaller than normal too. Usually they only bloom once a year. They're still perfectly fine roses, they just might have a name. And they may actually have a SMELL! All roses bloom on new wood, so it's best to prune in winter or early spring. You can prune now to remove dead wood or stray canes, but nothing too drastic. And give it a little 1/2 strength fertilizer. Good luck |

How about Dr. Huey? http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/pl.php?n=1550&tab=10
Its not Rosa Multiflora, the other common root stock. Jeff, Southeast Michigan, Zone 5 "Laura from MomsRetro.com" wrote in message ... I wonder if it is rootstock.
