Hello, I’m hoping to find out what kind of garden rose this is? Google is telling me it’s a peony but it grew on a thorny bush so I’m sure it was not and was in fact a rose. The flowers have so many petals on and grow to bigger than my palm so I know it’s not a traditional rose – please help!

Context for anyone interested – My mum had just moved house and as we were walking out of the house for the last time she decided to tell me that the rose bush we have had planted in our garden since not long after we moved in 14 years ago was from my grandad who past over 10 years ago 🙃 I’ve always loved the bush because it’s made the prettiest pink flowers and had I known there was a bit of history behind it, I would’ve taken a cutting to take with me☹️ the best I could do was grab a bloomed flower and I’m going to dry it out and hopefully preserve in some way, but I would love a bush of my own, even if it’s not from the original bush!

    I’m based in England if that helps as I’m not sure if this is an international group!
