This rose was collected in Santa Barbara, CA, and has been grown under the study name "De la Vina Mystery" ... when collected, it was growing out through the top of an 8-ft. eugenia hedge -- which shows what a rose can do when it is determined to reach the sun. The rose was probably planted before the 1920 earthquake, and the hedge planted later. Probably, the rose had been "removed" but enough remained for it to make a comeback.
