This was actually a week or two ago. Last fall or winter, I stuck hardwood cuttings (prunings) from this rose bush, into vegetable garden beds. This one grew into the start of a rose bush. I think it's an"Old Garden Rose" ie, heirloom rose. The parent bush came with the house.
The roots look pretty good. Sometimes I'm surprised at small root system of some roses. I potted it onto used potting soil.
It had a tiny amount of wilting at the stem tips. I cut off those tips. There has been no additional wilting.
When winter arrives, I'll keep it in a sheltered location. Bring into the garage if below freezing.
Here's the flower of this mysterious rose. It has a strong, old rose fragrance.
Since I don't know the name, but I think it's old and a lot of old roses were French, for my own purposes I'm calling it "Rose mystérieuse parfumée" for "mysterious fragrant rose".
