How interesting. It's very similar to a rose I have been admiring for the past few days when I go into town (Henley on Thames) ... I was thinking of asking if I could take a cutting, but now I am not so sure (although some invasive plants are always welcome, and I think this might be one of them). Do you think it would invade in south Oxfordshire?

You can see a map of the distribution of R. multiflora in Brirain here: http://tinyurl.com/34yrc3 - it looks as if it may be in your general area, or close by, already. The pink form is unusual - this is the first time I'd seen it. I'd suggest knocking on the door and asking if they know what the rose is and where they got it from? It may be a similar variety that already has a name. Otherwise, beg a cutting or perhaps a sucker - and when it's established send a picture to Peter Beales at his nursery and ask him what it is! He likes a little mystery to solve.
