Found Roses

Terry,
How wonderful that you have 'saved' these
roses. That's not just any 'pack-rating',
that's "rescuing heritage roses".

My found roses are:
1& 2) are from an old school, a mile from 
our old place. One is pink, and the other is 
deep fushia. I call them "Red Yankton" and
"Pink Yankton". Both once blooming and 
very fragrant. 3) "Sophie Rose" as our family
calls her, is a white, full, frag. rose, that 
came from my great grandma's grave. 4) the
"Abe" rose, is a climber (yet to bloom) from 
an old homestead behind our new place, 
now overgrown with forest.  5) "Small Forest
Rose" has tiny, wild, scotch rose leaves, 
from our small forest. 6) "Neer City Rose",
my delightful 90 year old neighbor/friend 
gave me,as it was on our property when she 
move here in 1926.  7) started as a stick 
that my mother gave me, she calls 
"Rosa cymosa."  Old ones from my dad's 
that have been passed down the family. 
8)  "Harrington Pink Moss" brought to 
Sisters,Oregon by great aunt in about 1910. 
9) "The Calico Rose" a pink and white that 
(may have) been brought by covered wagon 
from Dakota Territory to Oregon in 1889 with 
great, great grandfather. As the story go's
it was his mother-in-law's rose. 
10) "Tillamook Rose" from great uncles 
home in 1961, a purple-red climber. 
11) "Huettl Rose" a wild-looking hedge rose, 
present on the place, when grandpa built 
house in Bend,Oregon in 1922. Dad says it's 
a semi, with yellow blossoms that turn red in 
the 'thoats' and gets redder in the season.
I just got these last four to my place and 
can't wait till they bloom...
I had no idea my family was "rich" with roses.
(by the way, Rosenlund is my last name.)
