Rose Bush from the wild
I found this Rose bush growing in the forest and brought back a cutting and grew this from it. I don't know the name of it, but it stays in bloom for months if I keep deadheading. Very fragrant[img]https://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/carb37460/IMG_0915.jpg[/img]

WOW - it looks like some kind of Damask Rose !!! Unbelievable luck to find it in a forest since those roses are definitely not native to the USA. They originated in Middle East and my wild imagination is telling me that some early settlers brought it to NY and that today's "forest" was once somebody's front yard ; ). Well, I might be completely wrong in my "identification" lol, but what else has so many leaflets and is so fragrant ? In an y case _ WOW !!!! Lucky you !!!!!
