Per Cheryl Netter, this is indeed Banshee.

Do you know Ms. Netter? The website address we have for her on HMF is inactive. Is Langford Garden her home garden?
IDK about the correct ID of "Banshee". Unless it is indeed the same as "Jeremiah Pink", I have never grown it. I would like more information about Ms. Netter's "Graveyard Alba".

Hi Nastarana,
Langford Homestead is my garden in New Hampshire. I'm having trouble figuring out how HMF organizes member information and different ways of communicating, Q & C, Member Garden, etc. Cheryl Netter is in Colorado. I don't know her personally but I private messaged her because another HMF member mentioned she had information about Banshee. She kindly responded and said my rose could be Banshee based on the enlongated calix and some other characteristics. She said she'd had a discussion with Paul Barden (Oregon rosarian also no longer active on HMF) and they determined that the foliage was key. She suggested posting detailed closeup photos of the foliage and stems, and based on that she confirmed my rose is Banshee. She also very emphatically said HCR's rose is not Banshee. I think she might be the rosarian HCR mentions in their catalog, lol. I don't think she was the one that mentioned "Graveyard Alba," I'll try to find that post.
Best regards,
Mimi Alberu, AKA "Banshee" (ironic that I chose that ID name)

Please feel free to contact me directly. Don't know where you're located but I'm happy to share cuttings or plants.
PS - check out Banshee photos on HMF member eyesaeyesa's profile.

Such unusual petal markings, it's almost like the veining you see in marble. I don't think I've seen anything similar in another rose. Very nice!

This photo looks so much like my found rose from a cellar hole in Deerfield NH. I brought a cutting to Nashua rosarian Mike Lowe. He said it had three names, The Loyalist, named for Scottish loyalists who brought it to Canada, Banshee for its suckering growth habit, and American Hybrid. I've never seen any references to this third name. I didn't see any of the three in his 2002 catalog.
I asked High Country Roses for an opinion and they said, not Banshee. However, there is some disagreement about whether HCR Banshee is actually Banshee. This rose has a sprawling habit and suckers quite readily. I believe it migrated from another bed across the path. Blooms are initially compact but quickly become loose. Fragrance is light. Grows in part shade and seemed unaffected by temps today reaching 102F.
This comment was supposed to be in response to a photo posted by yesaeyesa, but it showed up in the comments of my member garden. I'm still trying to figure out the workings of HMF. Should I have clicked on Reply instead of Post Comment? Not sure if that was even an option.

This looks like the foliage of the Banshee, High Country I just planted in my Zone 6a garden in Candia NH. It hasn't bloomed yet. However, the foliage in other member photos looks entirely different. See my response to yesaeyesa. That photo looks like my Loyalist (I'm calling it that for now, although Mike Lowe said one of its three names was Banshee.) I have to look at his old catalog to see if there's any info. I'm amazed at the volume of discussion this rose has generated.
Similar to the previous comment, this was supposed to be for member Cavallo, but shows up in my HMF. Haven't found any useful FAQs on the site.
