Does anyone know the name of this rose? My neighbour's mother planted it years ago. It was sold by a nurseryman as a "hedging rose". It has made a very dense suckering thicket about 2 metres high. The leaves have a distinct bluish sheen. I thought it could have been one of the Penzance briars but the leaves have no apple scent. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

Anyone know this one? Photo taken very early in the (spring) season - few roses are out. Early enough to wonder if it's an Alister Clark rose. The bush is about 1.6m high, with very prickly bare legs. The flower colour is nearer red than pink (the camera doesn't show it well), and it fades and blues a bit with age. Little perfume. Others in the row are a small floribunda and a couple reverted to R indica major, which hasn't been used much as an understock in the last 40 years here, except by backyard growers for a hardware chain. The building may be more recent than the rose. Zone 9b.

bloom is a very 'AC hue' where sun glasses for safe viewing are advisable :)
wonder if shape & height is a consequence of the plant being bumped & jostled by pedestrians & therefore subject to fairly informal but frequent 'tip pruning'?

Margaret, I'd guess you would know 'Norah Cunningham'? It is a climber , but prickly and about the same colour.

Could be, though this one's overall impression is of a red rose. The closest so far.

Looks to me like McGredy's Isobel of 1916.

Seems to have more petals than 'Isobel's five petals

I'm desperately looking for a Yellow Graceland rose by Jackson & Perkins. It was my MIL's favorite rose, she passed away in 2003 & I would like to donate one in her memory to the rose garden where her ashes are. Does anyone know where I might be able to get one? Jackson & Perkins had to destroy all their plants because of a disease so I'm not able to get one from them. Any help would be really appreciated.
