      Good afternoon Marley that's is one beautiful old fashioned Rose,very vigorous keep an eye on it;)

      Bred by Keith Steadman (United Kingdom, circa 1960).

      Named for Wickwar, England, where this seedling was raised.

      I am sure I know someone who lives in "WickWar";) must have been on my
      Christmas card list:smile:

      Just a little more about your Rose
      Your Rose makes a makes a large spreading bush about 2 meters high and more across,it is a seedling of R.brunonii possibly with R.soulieana as the other parent,which originated in the garden of Keith Steadman in Wickwar,Gloucester:smile:

      This rose grows at Castle Howard Rose Garden.
