Just for the record, I have a plant of this rose growing in my garden in Sherman Oaks. The flowers are similar in size to the average of the 19th century roses, about 2 inches in diameter, and the plant is vigorous, if not yet invasive.

That's OK Fa, I got the idea. <g>

I've got two of this. I need to donate one of them, so it will be somewhere other than here.

"McBride Plot" was found in a Sierra Foothills cemetery.

There are 3 McBrides in the plot:
Major J.S. McBride (Pennsylvania Volunteers) d. 1908, age 74
his wife Elizabeth died 1897, age 59
Their infant child is buried with no date.
There is 1 rose on this plot, I have not as yet upt it up on HelpMeFind, but I'll do that this week.
This rose is upright and wiry, and it is remontant. It's disease-free in the foothills, but has some fungal problems (controllable) near the coast. It's got a lovely "Old Rose" fragrance, and it does those beautiful elaborate sepals I like so much.
And, yes. It WAS wet when I took these pix.
