Today I received five bare root rose plants. You can see they are eager to grow. With great pleasure I planted them right away, one at the base of each post of my new rope swag pergola that I built this spring.
The idea for this came from watching Gardener’s World and it solves a design problem in the front garden, i.e., how to add vertical interest. The roses that I purchase are all large climbers that will be trained up the posts and along the ropes.
We are having summer-like weather and the garden is what keeps us busy.
