Lady Banks' rose (botanical name Rosa banksiae) belongs to the family Rosaceae. The photo was taken in our yard on April 21, 2010.

Lady Banks was the wife of Sir Joseph Banks, 1st Baronet, GCB, PRS (1743–1820). Sir Banks was an English naturalist, botanist and patron of the natural sciences; and took part in Captain James Cook's first great voyage (1768–1771) [1].
