Comments: This one is the climbing Old Blush Rose which produces musky and sweet-scented flowers of pale to medium pink and blooms over a long time from spring to frost. This is an old rose and can be found in old farmsteads across the South. Although this is a tough rose, rose pests can be quite troublesome in the hot, humid South. Provide full sunlight and a well-drained soil.
