That's definitely a rose. I'm no expert, but my guess would be Doctor Huey. It's a red rose that tends to open into a loose flower like that, with a bit of white at center of the petals. Can't recall stamen color. It's often used as root stock for grafted plants because it's hardy and grows well.

Thanks, ladies. I'm unreasonably excited that we have a rose bush I knew nothing about.
It kills me that apparently there were also pear trees that the previous owner had taken out.
Love those bookshelves!!!
My favorites are the REK expandable, the maze, the equations, and that staircase is an incredible idea--brilliant!
I never get tired of looking at those staircase bookshelves. Which is good because my eyes are limping, staggering, sobbing messes in need of some serious visual comfort food after looking at those horrific slides.
I drank orange juice. I'm so not supposed to. But it was...it's so tasty. And there.
Interestingly enough, whenever I get admitted to the hospital, they automatically prescribe antacids. I'm not sure if that's because of my meds, or what.
eta: Sadly, those slides are merely normal currency.
Let me go see what errands I can take care of during lunch.
