These beautiful apricot roses, against the blue sky and the weathered concrete fence posts, made for a wonderful series of photos that afternoon.
When I planted this rose, I didn't realize that it was a climbing tea ... so, it's planted in the center of the border where a shrub would have been perfect. To accomodate the 8-foot canes that Msr. Paul Lede produced last year, I gathered them up and flipped them over the fence. This may not be a perfect solution, but it will have to do until I find a better place for it.
If you come this weekend during Open Garden on Sunday, Msr. Paul Lede will be here to greet you.
