Phooey, can't figure out how to attach more than one picture at a time. And now I've tried twice to upload the "full length" picture, but it doesn't work. Maybe I need to wait a while or something. Will try to get it on here later....it's a beauty.
Looks like a wild rose to me. I suspect it came from an old Rose garden that over the years the seedlings eventually reverted back to the wild traits. recall seeing similar around very old homesteads
Nope, not it....this one is not a shrub rose, it has very long canes....when I'm able to get the full-length picture up, it will help with identification.
Ok, I tried again and this time I saw a little message that says my file exceeds the limit of bytes. Gonna try to resize it. Worked!
This thing is probably 20 feet or more from one end to the other.

Yes, it looks very similar to the "wild" roses I see blooming on the roadsides in Arkansas, but this one seems more "cultivated" than those....the leaves are bigger, greener, and the flowers are also a little larger. So are the canes.

That seems to narrow it down to a very old heirloom variety, Something developed before the 1900s. I think a good starting point would be to look at popular Roses of the 1800s
