Help with rose please !
I know this is a long shot, but I bought this rose from a bargain shop for the sum of £1.
It was labelled as "Rosa Virgo", but something tells me it isn't,
Can
anyone advise as to what type of rose it might be ? It hasn't flowered yet, so I don't even know if they are white flowers !
Still, it was a bargain 
Many thanks

Whatever it is it looks jolly healthy
The leaves look similar to a Rosa rugosa and the thorns on the stems are also similar to a rugosa ... let's wait and see what the blooms are like
Will do Dove - I'll post another photo in due course. If it is a rugosa, how big (ie high) is it likely to get?
Hello Dove, here are a couple of photos - it is white anyway!
The buds have a pinkish tinge, and it has several buds in a cluster, hopefully you can see from the photos.
I'm worried that though it is lovely and healthy it might turn out to be a bit of a "thug"
Hi
It does look like a Rosa rugosa ... usually used as a windbreak or hedging ... the blooms usually have a beautiful perfume and develop lovely hips in the autumn loved by wildlife, and the foliage is sort of 'ferny' in shape and a lovely. fresh green ... it will be a bit rampant for a 'normal' sized garden ...

Thanks Dove, I had a feeling that might be the case
.
I think it'll be going to the charity shop with the other plants, but I do information sheets for the plants I give them, so I'll be sure to mention the possible size!
Thanks again for your help
No probs
