Patti, try giving that information to Heirloom. 
They have traveled all over the world and may
be able to help you identify this rose.  The rose
our grandmother's called a "cabbage rose" is one
they list in their catalogue (sorry, I can't think
of the name of the top of my head), but if it
came from Germany, they may have another
suggestion.  Their catalogue is more than worth
the $5.

I grow roses because I love them but one I want
to find is an antique
rose which my Grandmother grew in Popple
River, Wisconsin.  It had a
million stickers to the inch(!) and was an
everblooming blueish pink
rose that Grandma called a cabbage rose.  I
believe it came from Germany
with her mother.  It was hardy through the very
cold winters and did not
seem to get alot of diseases in the humid
summers.  It smelled great.
She grew Sweet Williams around the bush.
