porkpal said: I hope you decide to keep it. It is an unusually attractive specimen. I've never had a Dr Huey that produced blooms in such large clusters.
Do not worry, I have no desire to remove it. I just wanted to know which rose it is and how I might be able to feed it to help the blooms look healthier. This house was built in 1926, and it has some very mature trees and shrubs, so I do not doubt that this rose bush might be decades old.
At the moment, it is covered with blooms from top to bottom, but they look dead. They bloom looking dead, which is why I thought maybe some sort of food or other treatment might help it.
I snapped a couple more photos for you, porkpal. It is difficult to see, but there are plenty of buds all around the bottom of the bush, too.
If only the blooms looked healthy and robust, this would be a stunning rose bush!
