This is Doctor Robert Huey himself - the namesake of the popular rootstock rose. Pictured on page 105 of the 1922 edition of The American Rose Annual (published by the ARS).

Dr. Huey on the left, purple clematis on the right. I inherited this rose bush 24 years ago when we moved to this house. Whatever rose this was had already surrendered to the good doctor. I essentially ignored it for about 20 years and then I started to give it some loving care. I have over 500 blooms on this old-timer. Mine likes to get powdery mildew but I have not seen any blackspot in a while. Very easy to train - I don't have anything but the garage wall supporting it. In the next few days it will get a serious haircut - out with the old canes and in with the new!

Learned the hard way not to buy roses in "body bags" from Tractor Supply. Still has a nice, moderate rose fragrance. Looks like I will get a second burst of blooms from it soon, which is not typical for this rose.

‘Dr. Huey’ sprouting on a 1997 plant of ‘St. Cecilia’. Gift Garden-7. Dec 3, 2021. First sign of the rootstock after 24 years. One must never drop the guard and I am happy that I grow mostly own root roses in my heavy soil.
