The China rose I found in Mazatlan, Mexico maybe this rose. Maybe someone will grow the two and compare them… look for “Mazatlan China” In the listings.

From Jeri Jennings who brought this rose to the world's attention:

Richard/Robert Leonidas Cain b. 1842, enlisted in the Confederate army early in the American Civil War. Serving through the conflict, he returned to his home in Jasper, Alabama in 1865, “. . . barefoot, starving, riding on a mule . . .” His family had given him up for dead.

Finding “everything changed,” Cain left Alabama for Texas, where his maternal uncle had made a home.

Cain established a ranch, married, and raised a family of 14 children, in what came to be the small Texas Hill Country town of Adina, Texas. In time, he donated land for a school, a church, and a cemetery.

There, where Cain lies surrounded by family members and neighbors, great-granddaughter Jeri Jennings, collected cuttings of a simple pink China Rose, which she called “The China From Adina.”

The little Adina rose has been shared with other Cain descendants, Adina neighbors, and friends. A plant is growing in Jennings Southern California garden, in the Historic Sacramento City Cemetery, and in the gardens of several Cain relatives.
