I no longer grow this cultivar but was informed long ago that a possible identification is 'W. Freeland Kendrick', also known as 'Bloomfield Endurance'.

Interesting these are listed as climbers with a height of 39"?

The height sounds correct for "Mr. Pomeroy's Rose" It certainly did not climb for me, but had a rather lax habit of growth.

Hi Robert,
I have planted this rose in my garden. Unfortunately, I can only compare with the pictures of W. Freeland Kendrick '. The flower shape is identical, even the color of the outer petals.
My Mr. Pomeroy does not show such intense shades of red in the middle. Possibly this is also climate-related and dependent on soil.
Mr. Pomeroy is growing strongly. Unfortunately, the shoots often freeze in winter. Otherwise the plant would certainly be a higher climbing rose.
