I’ve coddled two climbing roses for almost 5 years, now, and have been rewarded with about as many blooms. I almost gave up on them, truth be told, because they don’t didn’t seem all that happy in my backyard. But they’re finally taking off: arching outward and growing taller. We’re growing on each other, you might say. Behold the Zephirine Drouhin–a bright spot of color in the pelting rain.
What a gorgeous color!
What a beautiful rose! I’m glad she gained the strength for such a stunning show of beauty.
Roses are hard to grow (at least in my experience). This one’s gorgeous!
