Cannonvale Maroon is a beautiful "ROR" rose...one that has been found growing either wild or in an old established garden, and without a positive identity. Until that definitive identification is forthcoming, 'ROR' roses are given a "working name", usually reflecting either the location in which it was found, the founder or some other identifying title such as the original owner of the garden.
I can find no information at all regarding this fabulous old rose, which has been growing in my garden for at least ten years. I planted it on a fence line running east-west, so it gets full afternoon sun all summer, and is rarely watered and NEVER mulched. It has other roses growing in front of it, and in fact is never viewed until this time of the year when arching branches laden with fragrant maroon blooms appear over the top of the other roses.
