A wild rose.

[ale1981]

Look at this rose. It has such an old story.

It was given to my family back in the 60s from our neighbour's garden. That family moved out in the late 70s and their house is now abandoned. The garden and most trees disappeared, along with the roses.

Since I became aware of this, I wanted this rose to be everywhere it could fit n my garden, I'm so proud of it now.

Could anyone tell me what species this is? It should be Rosa Centifolia but I'm not 100% sure. Does anyone else have it? It grows in the wild.
