Identify an Unknown (Mystery) Rose

Do you have an unidentified rose in your new yard? Or did your aunt pass you down a potted rose that's been "in the family"? How would you even go about identifying this mystery rose? In this video, I'll answer a few questions about it. Spoilers: it's probably not a DNA test (at least not yet!). It's probably also not an email to me - I've grown only a small assortment of roses compared to what has been released in the market. I'll give you some practical tips on how to direct your efforts, but the first question, I think, is whether it's worth the trouble.

BTW, the rose in the thumbnail only looks "mysterious" - it's actually a well-known hybrid perpetual called 'Commandant Beaurepaire'
