A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2007 Mystery Pink rose?

Hi all

I have several pink like looking roses that are growing along a creek on my property, mixed in with cattails etc, I would like to take a cutting they are so pretty, but not sure what it is?
looks like a tiny tea rose, but growing all over by water and fields.

Will try to get a pic for you to see

It is neat...

Is this the roses you are talking about?
It grows everywhere here...all along the sides of the roads, in fields, etc.

Yes, it is, thanks...I thought I could mix some along the side of water? any suggestions?
Wow, your good... what is it?

I have no idea what it is, really.
They just grow wild all over the place, so I cut a little piece (about 4 inches) off of one at a job we were on a few years ago and stuck it in my pocket to plant when I got home.
The rest is history. That sucker has spread all over the entire middle garden! One of the branches got almost 30 feet long last summer!
In the fall I cut it completely back to the ground...and that's what it has done just so far this spring...what you see in the picture.

I love it...it looks beautiful in my yard!
And it blooms all summer!

It would be perfect to grow on a bank somewhere, where it was hard to mow. It chokes out the weeds all by it's own bad self!
