Who Can Answer This Question?

To the left of the walnut tree trunk and behind the

deep ground cover ~ is a type of rose that grows up and

over the fence between my garden and the garden

next door where Amy's chickens live (ie Thelma and 

the girls)

Here is my question ~ what type of rose is it?  I did not

plant it, it was here when we moved in years ago.  It only 

blooms at this time of year and for a short time.  My yard is in

deep shade, so it's not a sun lover at all.  I'm quite sure it's a 

type of rose because the bush has thorns and the buds look like

rose buds.  

Neither Amy nor I do anything special for it.  It is just

happy to be.  It lives between two big black walnut trees

and I have been told that nothing likes to grow near black

walnuts, but the ground cover in the foreground and the rose bush

are quite content.

Any guesses?

Bentley is completely hidden in that ground cover and 

is chasing cats through it daily.  It's a full time job!!

Love,

Susan and Bentley
