My mother calls this one "the ranch rose." I think it might be a rose called "Chloris," but I like ranch rose better. The parent plant was grown at the home of my great grandparents in Northern California. Roses can be very long lived. I was curious about this and did some research. The oldest living rose is believed to be around 700 years old and is a dog rose. I love knowing that I have one growing in my garden.
