When we moved into our home (built in the late 1920s) we were pleased with the existing flora on the premises: camellias, fig bushes, lantana, azaleas . . . and a large, gangly rose bush.

I know even less about roses, so I turn to the internets to help me identify this beauty:

My Dad has that same rose bush in his garden. My mother planted it years ago. I have no idea what it is called, but the roses smell wonderful.
