It fits nicely in your garden. I bet it is really pretty covered with blooms. <br /><br />I've been having problems with my climbing roses the past several summers. It never occurred to me that it might be the metal trellis they were vining on being too hot in the sun. Thanks for the lesson.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858158707328118375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-79835417097752324232011-01-25T13:45:57.773-06:002011-01-25T13:45:57.773-06:00Love the pink...so bright and cheery...I had a Gra...Love the pink...so bright and cheery...I had a Grandpa Ervin...not a popular name...Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14414361079501574872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-10771950317329573792011-01-25T07:19:35.878-06:002011-01-25T07:19:35.878-06:00I still think of you as the plant lady.

Following spring, the climbing rose canes are all dead, but the root stock on which they were grafted springs to life with a hideous rose (ok, no rose is actually hideous, but this is just a wimply totally unimpressive, well, root stock rose.)

Now they sit waiting for inspiration.<br /><br />I am a huge convert to "on their own root" roses. I'm not enough of a fusser to deal with the other type or even a special "rose" garden for that matter. I'm very much drawn to the mix it all up type garden.<br /><br />Your picture makes the sun nearly palpable.Lannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496680275949744856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-24105176051168704042011-01-24T13:14:35.777-06:002011-01-24T13:14:35.777-06:00Oh thank you for the little bit of summer and your...Oh thank you for the little bit of summer and your beautiful flowers.
