Looks like an English rose. It reminds me of Abraham Darby or Janet English





Old fashion roses like the English ones are known for a flush of flowers and then fade as the season progresses leaving hips where the flowers were. You may be able to extend the bloom season by dead heading.





By the way It is NOT a dog rose as those are not the correct blooms found on a dog rose. It is also not a peony.
Reply:It's definitely a rose. It is rare for roses to not have thorns, so this should help you narrow down which one it is.





Does it bloom just the once, or will it rebloom if you deadhead it? This will also help you figure out which one it is.





There is a continuum in growth characteristics between some of the smaller floribunda roses and larger miniature roses. Many miniature roses are weakly thorned.





It's true that many English/Austen roses have blooms that look like this, but they tend to grow quite tall in California, at least twice what the hybridizer says. The ones I have had have been all well-thorned. Most but not all Austen roses are fragrant, and very few miniature/floribunda roses are.





If you believe this is an old wild plant, its patent has passed and you can propagate more of it from its stems, so that is one way to be certain to get more of the same.
Reply:It looks like a rose bush. They bloom more if you "deadhead" them. This means cutting off the flowers after they start to die. Cut them back to right before the first group of five leaves on a stem (leaves are grouped in threes, fives, and sevens). Rose bushes can also be heavily pruned before the first bloom in Spring (you can buy a book to tell you how to do it).
Reply:That is an 'old fashioned' rose ... I don't know the exact color, but if you want this same type of plant, buy roses that say 'old fashioned' on them ... they are more bushy than the 'modern' roses, and have bigger blooms (and may smell better, too).
Reply:Hi I have one in my garden it is called a dog rose, it is known for it's quick growing, and it will get up to 18' if you let it, should have large orange hips on it when it is done flowering.
Reply:First I thought it was a Peony Bush, then it looked like a Rose Bush, sorry I can't tell. Take the pics to the garden shop at Lowe's, they may know.
Reply:english roses.
Reply:wild rose or maybe rose of sharon, it's kinda hard to tell without a size of the bud.
Reply:I would say it looks like a rose bush, the way it's buds look.
Reply:I wish I knew, but it sure is pretty! It almost looks like a rose bush but not quite, interesting.
Reply:That is a rose bush. I love the color.
Reply:Looks like a "Wild Rose" to me.
Reply:Looks like a shrub rose...don't know the variety name.
Reply:those are roses
Reply:its a rose i have tons of them
Reply:I'm pretty sure it's a Peony. There are a million different kinds. It will be tough to find that same one. If it dies back to the ground in the winter, can shoots up red shoots in the spring it's definitely a Peony.
