Sounds like a Rugosa *g* - In this mobile home park the only roses that
survive in the "soil" (hardpan mostly) are wild Baldhip roses (Rosa
gymnocarpa) and Rugosas (I had to prune my "Sir Thomas Lipton" drasticly
so I could mow the dandelions 8-) - a 10' Rugosa tends to sprawl quite a
bit in *full bloom* *bg*)
