GARDENING WHILE INTOXCATED

Ok, now that I have more readers, I am wondering if one of you can ID this mystery rambler. It was on the property when we bought it, and was referred to as a tea rose by my neighbor—I am pretty sure that is not an accurate description. It has a semi-double form and starts out a deep pink, lightening as it ages. There are many, many buds on each stem. It’s also a very thorny rose and seems to love neglect. When I cut a few sprays, they tend to wilt easily. There is a small amount of rebloom. Of course, you really never get all that much rebloom from most roses, except the modern shrubby ones. Oh right, scent—a mild, peppery fragrance.I wouldn’t say it’s driving me crazy, exactly, but I would like to know what this is.
