Rosa davurica (Amur Rose)

Back in April of 2005 I planted 29 species roses in a bed I prepared on our property in Pennsylvania. Sadly, many of them did not survive, but there are a few that are still holding on and two that are actually thriving. This is one of those. It is, I think, Rosa davurica although the garden is in such bad shape, it’s not exactly clear where each rose should be. This rose has formed a small mound of plants about four feet tall and it is very happy. It’s absolutely covered with blooms and is quite lovely.

In 2021 I posted a photo of this same rose, which I believe to be Rosa davurica (the Amur Rose). It’s one of 29 roses I planted in 2005 in an area of what we call the ‘picnic field’ and my dad came to call his ‘arboretum’. Most of them had died by 2021 but there were two that were doing quite well. Since then, the area became a dumping ground for tree trunks and other brush that was being cleared from another part of the property. We are trying to clear up that part of the field and have moved most of the brush pile and I hope to dig up a few of these to transplant to a more suitable area before we turn this part of the field into a parking area for Dorothy and Jeff’s wedding.
