It is two bushes, one on each end of the trellis. There is a bird bath in the middle. You can hardly see the bird bath. The birds are probably too scared to get in the bird bath.
We built the trellis for it a few years ago. The trellis is 6 feet tall. And you can see it is overtaking the trellis. I did trim it way back last summer, and that must have been a good thing. Because just in the last few weeks it has exploded. Exploded with new limbs and climbers, and exploded in pink roses everywhere.
As soon as I get some garden gloves on I will push and shove and twist the limbs and climbers back in the trellis.
I think I have a pink thumb with this one!!

Yes you do, Gin! That rose bush is a happy plant - it loves that spot. The flowers look like they smell like honey - do they?
ReplyDeleteI love roses :-)
It is stunning! You sure do have a pink thumb!!
ReplyDeleteGin - how beautiful! What a beautiful site to view from your window!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is beautiful. Does it bloom all summer? That is the one fall-back about Lady Banks roses. They bloom once in the spring and then they're done. I bet the birds love the birdbath!
ReplyDeleteoh Gin, it is so beautiful! I am so envious cause it still looks like winter around here...the weather is nicer though so I am hopeful!!!!
