That's amazing, the wild roses here are single petals.

Yes, but it grows in different directions very aggressively. I constantly dig out new young plants. But this rose is not sick and does not freeze even in severe frost. If it grew up in your climate, it would probably be a "rose's catastrophe".:D

@Verdun Good morning ... I'd love it to be overcast! Or, better still, a bit of @Zenj 's neon blue and yellow blobs on Essex! That will ease @Zenj 's chagrin ..

These roses are on a raised bed and is one of the 10 plants left by the previous owner. So can't capture all the flowers..
