Patricia, thank you so much. The photos on HMF match nearly everything I recorded on this rose--the long stemmed clusters, the widely scattered black thorns, the long fringed stipules, the prickles on the reverse of the petiole, etc. The only difference is the color: the rose I saw had its petals margined in pink fading to blush or white. I did check the photos and comments on 'Mme d'Arblay', which occasionally was said to be "flesh-white", which I suppose could be a pale pink. But then the rose I saw was growing in some shade and somewhat sandy soil, which may have affected the color as well.

I saw the plant last month in the old pioneer town of Jacksonville, Oregon in the graveyard of the small, old St. Andrew's church (which contained a variety of old roses).

I'm trying to write an article about that old cemetery rose garden.
