Throughout the town I live in, on the highway, there are some roses that bloom with very neon pink, slightly double blooms. I’ll try to get a screenshot of one of them up close. Their ubiquitous nature in many parts of the town in seeming unintentional places led me to believe they might be wild. Do multiflora roses exhibit vibrant pink blooms? Also, are the wild roses native to the American south known to have any double varieties? If not, it could be an old garden rose instead perhaps.
I’d guess that it is most likely a R. lucieae-based rambler like ‘Dorothy Perkins’. Dorothy and some other ramblers of similar background have a tendency to spread and hang around long after their initial cultivation.
