Hello! I live in Boston, Massachusetts, zone 7A. I have walked by this gorgeous rose bush many times on my way to the library, with tiny pink blooms that seem to fade to a lighter pink over time. Please help me figure out what the name of this looming rose bush is. It looks like a polyantha, and I thought it was the fairy, but the petals on this mystery rose are more pointed looking than The Fairy's. Thank you for anyone who can help!

Can you tell us about repeat bloom, if any? The picture looks like a rambler. Someone who knows the ramblers better than me might be able to ID the group of ramblers, Wicherana, multiflora for example, to which it might belong. There are two lost, almost certainly extinct, alas, Ayrshire ramblers from the early 20thC, which were bred in Boston, but what I could see of the leaves didn't look like an Ayrshire.

Dear HMF,
AM038 (Hradec Králové Honourable Mention) is actually the variety Meipapey available only in North America under the trademark BALL GOWN™

My Meredith is covered in rust constantly. Super prone but not listed anywhere. I like to see when health has a lesser rating than excellent, what they are prone to

Thanks for this. Rust resistance is something I've been trying to breed for.
Do you grow Easy Spirit by chance?

I don’t grow easy spirit. I do have a huge collection of roses and I will say Meredith is one of if not the worst offender. She is grafted on Huey which could be part of the issue

Rootstock shouldn't be an issue.
Sometimes an offspring is better than it's parent. I've been using Easy Spirit a s bit but I may have to rethink that.
Thankfully I never grew Meredith.
Thanks for your input.

It's hard to think that all the photos on this file are of the same rose. Even if photographed with a phone...

Anything within the mauve - pink range with a white centre is probably accurate. Bloom age, climate and soil would impact. The range of colour was noted on the climbing sport.
