Did you know there were women on the beaches? Both the British and the Americans (and the Canadians, too, I suspect, although I can't say for sure) had nurses working in aid stations by the afternoon of D-Day. Not the same as the first assault waves--but there they were, all the same.

One of the most common old-fashioned red climbers is called Blaze, and there's another, with very ruffled petals and a strong scent called Don Juan. I don't know for sure about the Anthropophagus Rose, except that it's not Dorothy Perkins, The Fairy, or Cecile Brunner, because those aren't singles. The native climber called Prairie Rose doesn't have the sort of armament your has. Sweet Brier, or Eglantine does, but the flowers aren't quite right. Betty Prior is another possible. You could also just go to Antique Rose Emporium (http://www.antiqueroseemporium.com/index.html) and lose several hours off your life.
