Yes, but the church curators must have become tired of it fully covering the Hugh Childs grave and walking outside of it, and it has been removed. I suspect it will spring up again. The local Rotary branch have set up a garden beside a historic schoolhouse building nearby, to reproduce all the roses planted in the early days in the churchyard, and we've given them a plant of this one - budded.
The project has not been without egg on face for me. One I gave them, as propagated from the last remaining rose on a grave which used to have five, turns out to be a modern planted after 2005, when the last remaining rose was removed.
