I finally found this
http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/77421/
I have hunted for this for years upon years.
and I found it today
This flower grew by our small cabin in Speedwell Va.
It also grows wild in the forest that is near our cabin
I remember smelling this rose bush every day when it was in blown
It has a really sweet smell.
Isn't it funny the smells that you remember as a child
I am so happy to have found the real name
We called it "Bubbie Rose"
I hope to be able to purchase it and get hubby to plant me a bush or two.hugs sheila

I've never seen a rose like that before. No wonder you hunted for it for so long!

Good for you Sheila! Isn't the Internet a wonderful source of information. Now you just have to find your shower curtain :)
These look so pretty and I would love to smell them.
Karen, I checked on of the sellers and it looks like it is for zones 4-9.

| Sheila, I had a huge bush like his on my Virginia farm until a landscaper talked me into getting rid of it. (I should have at least transplanted it to another spot on our property. It was thriving.) A former owner, still a neighbor, used to call it a "spice bush." It sure did smell spicy! It isn't a rose, though. I see these bushes on property where the houses are pretty old, so I have the feeling there was a "special" on them somewhere in the 50's or so. Our farmhouse dates back to 1911, but I think that bush was planted later. I hope you can find a new one for your place. It'll be such a lovely reminder of happy childhood times. |
