the trellis rose.....

ok, so the trellis rose(s) will probably be in full view this weekend......those who live within driving distance of this blog's origin are invited to come on out to see it.....sunday would be a great day....anyway.....the trellis rose bushes, city of york, were the suggestion of my husband's oldest brother, who runs a rosarium in the dc area as a sideline......he gve these bushes to us...but sold a large number to monticello several years ago, as the bush is listed as one grown by jefferson......the trellis was built by my spouse and my dad one fine weekend......so i always think of my father whenever the roses bloom over it......the bush blooms on new canes....so i am loathe to trim it back.....it does occassionally grab ahold of people who get too close.......ah well...such is the ilk of beauty............
