I have two rambler roses that I propagated from bushes growing at abandoned house sites here in central Kentucky. Both of these have bristles/glands on the pedicels (hard to see in the pictures). These roses are similar but differ in gross appearance, flower color and phenology. I always suspected that Rose 1 is DP. However, it is possible that both or neither is DP. They may also be wild DP hybrids.
