Notes:
Field Roebuck found this rose in a cemetery in Texas. He describes it as follows: Medium pink, double, very fragrant, 3"-4" flowers, sometimes in small clusters, on a 5'-7' leafy, upright, arching shrub; suckers freely; blue-green, damask-like foliage; wide stipules and some reverse-curved prickles; buds have very long, extended, dentate sepals; profuse, extended spring bloom; roots easily from cuttings; cold-hardy; slight tendency for powdery mildew, but no black spot. Mother plant in the 1860 Perryman Cemetery (Montague County) is a thick cluster or clump, 10 feet in diameter. This same rose has been found in at least 3 other North Central Texas cemeteries, next to abandoned homesteads near the towns of Keller and Grandbury, and (reportedly) at several locations in the southern part of the state. This rose has recently been identified as 'Shailer's Provence', which see.
