I’m trying to identify this rose that I snipped from someone’s yard. I didn’t get pictures of whole plant ... it was still dark. Very dark purple, pink. Looks dark blood red from distance. It’s very vigorous, once a year bloomer. Thornless and It has 17 petals that are heart shaped. Very mild fragrance if at all. Blooms in groups 3-4, medium to small blossoms. Leaves are dull medium green and are “toothed”. It does have mildew. I think it may be own root, driving past, it doesn’t look grafted, it’s been there years...I’ve done many advanced searches and can’t find anything. Zone 8b Florida. Thanks for any info. Photos taken 4.13.19

Do you think it could be ‘Dr. Huey’? For me, this roses ages to a dusty brownish-red.

Could be. Dr. Huey isn't usually thornless, but then neither is Rosa multiflora. Thomas for Roses have a special type of multiflora for their rootstocks, and that one is totally thornless. So on that basis I suppose it's plausible that someone else may have come up with a totally thornless Huey.

The one from Thomas for Roses roots super easy to (although probably not a surprise given multiflora) and is completely thornless rather than "thornless" like many roses are. Just waiting to see it flower and potentially throw so pollen at it to expand the diploid pool I'm tinkering with....thornless is always useful.

Yes, I think it is 'Dr Huey'. This rose was growing in shade. Thank you for replying.
