This unknown rose grows on a Roadside Homestead along Highway 49 and seems to always have at least one bloom - even in winter. This unkempt survivor stays healthy despite the elements and weather conditions. Gregg Lowry at 'Friends of Vintage Roses' says "Its definitely got china Rose!" but there was no conclusion about its name or history.

This rose was found growing on an old homestead with apples, grapes, and flowering quince outside Nevada City.
