I have had the rare thrill only understood by gardeners, when I split a large mystery rose I inherited when I purchased my house in two and discovered the original metal plant tag with it's name in between the two pieces!
Turns out this is the rose I have!

I've been trying to cultivate her for 3 years now, with difficulty. The stems are very rigid and upright and the habit is very bushy, with leaf bunches coming right off main stems. Hard to work with without getting scratched, and the density of the foliage makes a wonderful home for insects.

As you'd suspect, she's a total disease and insect magnet; black spot, aphids, thrips, slugs, she has them all, usually at the same time. She's always a mess by the end of June. Defoliating helps somewhat. This rose is growing on the south side of my house, sheltered by an overhang, but still covered in blackspot.

The flowers are thick-petalled, velvety and ruffled, and given singly, borne on long, upright stems. They have a moderate fruity fragrance and are a lovely pure red color with small golden stamens. This looks like it's bred to be a long stemmed rose in a vase.

Comparing her to my other 15 roses, she takes the most work. I did get a nice flush in the spring last year, when I did not prune her at all (although got a puny yield this year for some reason). She has reached about 8 feet at this point and I'm thinking of pruning her all the way down (it's the end of June). Is that a good idea?

Edit: This rose LOVES to have wet roots.
