Flowering Quince: Chaenomeles is a genus of four species of deciduous spiny shrubs, usually 1–3 m tall, in the family Rosaceae. Just Google the name.

That certainly looks correct. I think it was taken in the Sandhills State Park in south central Kansas, but I'm not certain. Thanks for the info.

Probably a type of "heirloom" rose also know as "Old Fashioned Roses".
If you had imaged them digitally back when you made the originals what would y have been now? Maybe between 1.5 and maybe 7 mega pixels? Your modern digital copy from the transparency probably is better than anything made all those years ago. Here’s hoping in twenty years whatever media your film has been sparchiced to can still be readable. Keep enjoying your craft and keep everything worth saving. I’m certain enjoying your horses now as much as brand new ones… but by any other name the old ones really don’t smell the same😋… What the heck, if your screen name reflects your birth year, waiting 29 years to find out is probably academic anyway.

Thanks Jimmy. I think Thistletop nailed it as a Flowering Quince but it looks like what we called a prairie rose back when I lived in central Kansas.

Thanks jrvinson45. I have lots of old medium format, and some large format, color negatives from 20-30 years ago that I've done nothing with. At this point I've no interest in investing in high end scanners and/or software to process them. I also shot lots of b/w film but I have a darkroom and was able to develop and print those. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of all my darkroom equipment.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Jack. As far as prairie rose that is a common name and when I was studing plant taxonomy one of the first things I learned was not to always trust a common name. Many flowers resemble each other and sometimes it takes close inspection to differentiate. Look for amost tastless fruits on the plant in the fall. Also a prairie rose will have thorns like a domestic rose while the quince will have straight spines. Just going by the picture I will stick my neck out an stick with quince. Old timers used to call them roses as well. It's a beautiful plant that can be used as a hedge row with great success. I wouldn't walk through it. LOL
