Found roses

Congratulations Richard, isn't it fun.
I have a "found" rose about to bloom.
It's a double, dark fushia with tiny white
"points". It's very fragrant. It was thrown in 
the dumpster at a 105+ year old school. 
It was so big, I cut it into 5 roses. They also
threw out a pink rose, that I cut into 4 roses.
The two had filled the dumpster. I saved 
these "historic" roses and save the school
a garbage bill.    Having fun now...

Any other 'found' rose stories ? 
I have more.
