Another found rose...

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

This is a rose I found in a broken weed-infested pot in a throw-out pile at a nursery here. I grabbed it and they gave it too me as a freebie and after a re-pot and some tlc it is now looking awesome. It's a once flowering rose with strong perfume.

it may be a from a hybrid spinosissima

Warren, this rose is now a monster. I've cut it back a little bit but it is now about 5ft high and wide. It forms OP hips easily and forms lots of flowers in late spring/early summer. It's interesting that some cuttings I got from a different source, have turned out to be identical to it. These were identified as maybe Rosa Indica Major and this seems to fit. The hips a large and orange and the seeds germinate easily. I'm thinking this may also be Indica Major. I thought I had some more recent photos but can't seem to find them at the moment. Will keep trying to track them down.

simom i dont think it is indica magor, i have it at home as i use it for root stock, firstly the leaves are wrong ,go on hmf and see, the leaves are more lanced shaped and matt, the flowers are wrong as well , indica magor flowers are quite doubled

cheers warren

Keep in mind Warren that this rose was very seriously neglected and malnourised when that photo was taken. It was about 3 years overdue for repotting and so chronically potbound. Since I pruned the roots and planted it in the ground it now looks quite different... still looking for the other photos.
