Margaret – The real Trigintepetala is very pretty. Probably why I ordered it – and I did just come across the order so this rose is mis-marked, or misidentified at the nursery.
Frances – I became acquainted with The Antique Rose Emporium when I visited my daughter in Texas and bought their roses last year, and this year. I’m glad you enjoyed the video.

Hi Pat, how funny. Well it is quite pretty at least. I don’t know the name, but we used to have a rambler, Alberic Barbier, that we nicknamed Killer. It tried to eat our house, including the top of the roof! So beware some of these beauties. The Antique Rose Emporium used to have two classifications of climbers: you control the rose, or the rose controls you. Sounds like your imposter belongs to the latter group.

Definitely not Trigintepetala, which I’ve grown for years–the flower is many-petaled and not single. Lovely roses, even the rampant one! Good luck with identifying it.

June, The so-called Trigintipetala is not only devouring the rose in the Walk, they are running out into the field to battle it out with the tansy and mint. Who will win?
