Many years ago - 1950's my grandmother had a rose bush. It rambled rather than climbed. It did not get very tall. It was on a fence panel. The canes were probably no more than 5-6 feet, if that. The leaves were very small, approximately 1/2 inch long. The blossoms were medium to dark pink, fully double, very small and borne in clusters of 7. Grandma always called it the "Seven Little Sisters". She told me that is was an old rose. Sadly some years ago, this rose bush was lost. I have searched for it with no luck.
The name "Seven Little Sisters" does not generate any results.
Can anyone help me, both with proper identifcation and possibly locating one.

Try searching Seven Sisters. You will find several choices under that name.

Searching this site, none of the Seven Sisters shown are the rose I am looking for. These are all too big.
The red Seven Sisters is closer, but still larger than what I am searching for.

I have come across people calling Dorothy Perkins and also Rosa banksia lutea as Seven Sisters rose too.

The Dorothy Perkins is too large and too light colored. The Banks rose group is yellow, but much closer in size and form.

Perhaps 'Mlle. Cecille Brunner'.
