A friend of mine has this great old rose growing free in a shady spot on the lawn and I was fortunate enough to get a few suckers (saved from the lawn mower). Before I saw the blooms I thought it might have been a Maiden's Blush, but it's a shorter rose at roughly 4 feet tall with flowers are slightly darker pink with a slightly spicier old-rose scent that's similar but noticeably different than Maiden's Blush. Most notably this one doesn't ball nearly as much as the Maiden tends too and so far is growing like a weed at my house (both the suckers and a short broken section of cane I stuck in the soil are taking off). It's not like the High Country Roses Banshee but more like descriptions and photos of the original Banshee. It's once blooming in the late spring/early summer and regardless of who it is, I love it. Is this the Banshee or someone else?
Is this the original Banshee rose?
