I must start this post by saying that this is not a climbing rose typically . In our garden, it appears that Graham Thomas has become a climber. Graham Thomas is a David Austin rose. This year it survived the February snow and it is fighting to stay above the shrubbery. So tall I need a stepladder to cut it! It has many, many blooms and if all goes well, it will bloom until the frost comes in fall. It has a beautiful scent of tea to it. Hope you have a beautiful rose to clip and smell in your garden. We were very soggy today. We have had enough rain. The heat of summer can start, please!
I just want to send my prayers to one of my favorite extension educators who lost her sister in a tragic truck accident yesterday. Also I want to send prayers to the Reppert sisters' dad, Byron. He broke his hip this week and is in a Reading hospital. Get better soon, Byron!
