This mini rose grows in a car park near me and its lovely. No scent but very pretty. Any ideas?

    It looks a lot like Rosa Bonica which I’ve grown in several gardens ... a very reliable smallish spreading shrub type rose somewhat confusing (to my mind anyway) described nowadays as a ‘groundcover’ rose.

    Thank you! It's so pretty I was contemplating taking sneaky cuttings! Now I can buy one

    I love to cut some and fill a small vase with some Bonica and Alchemilla mollis flowers ... it’s a gorgeous combination. 😊
