    I have these growing in my garden. The first one had a nice small pink rose early in june and the second one has not flowered yet. I took slips of them from the roadside near an abandoned house. 
    I would be grateful for your help to identify them.

    Identifying roses by foliage only? A discipline for the craziest rosarians :) probably not even for them.
    The second one could be some multiflora rambler. 9 leaflets and fringed stipules. The fringed stipules are typical for multifloras but many roses are descendants of multiflora (multiflora ramblers, hybrid musks, polyanthas, some modern shrubs...).

    I would say the 2nd rose is more a luciae/wichurana type, rather than multiflora... they both can impart fringed stipules, but the main differences are that multiflora ramblers tend to have matt elongated foliage.. luciae/wichurana types are more glossy, smaller and rounded, as in the picture...  both can have 3, 5, 7 or 9 leaves on various stems..

    ..the first photo could be any of thousands of roses out there.. take your pick...

    Lots more detail required here... blooms, at various stages... full bush shots.. all sorts and even then one may only be able to take a calculated guess... if we get one right for every 10 rose i'd's... we are doing very well in the rose world...

    I have an old rose bush that sends up suckers right out through the grass. Is there any way I can make this bush just have one stem??? Nettles and tall grass growing in among the tangle. Any advice appreciated.

    Can anyone identify this plant please and does it produce a flower?
