There are a fair few round (orbicular) leaves on this bush. See Carolina’s Photo Id: 243311 and Rafael’s Photo Id: 243355 - which leads me to think it might be HT and not Tea.

Im not a tea rose expert, since I do not live in the south, but it is possible that its one of those intermediate types from the late 1800s-early 1900s, or even a Burbank escapee, lol. He seemed to mix all sorts of repeating types. Well, you get the idea -- maybe its intermediate of some sort.

You mean like 'Burbank' 1898 and 'Santa Rosa 1899? I don't know either rose but the HelpMeFind photos, particularly of 'Santa Rosa', seem too cupped to be "Namuncura 87". My first reaction when seeing Carolina's blooms, was of 'Blossomtime', but that is far too pale a pink. The foundling seems to have some coral or salmon in the deep pink. I am stumped on this one and I wish we could get more thoughts on possibilities.

Yes and no. I do not mean those cultivars exactly, just that this rose could be like them where they are not quite pure tea, but have a lot of the tea and southern rose qualities. A lot of roses that bordered between tea, hybrid tea, bourbon, perpetuals, chinas, and so on were created frequently in the late 1800s and early 1900s. It could potentially be any of those ideas. From the looks of this rose, it looks like part tea and part hybrid tea, but who knows for sure.

By february the second flush of roses seems to start in spite of no clean up. New growth is reddish burgundy. I've posted photos of leaf, hips and thorn detail.
