Golden Celebrations

The Golden Celebration rose we planted this year has bloomed again. It has had a crazy growth spurt, along with the other three new roses from David Austin. And the smell is delightful.

Will and I now have to decide how to trellis this suckers since we can make them into an archway into the lower garden. Wouldn't that be lovely? An archway of Mr. Lincoln, Golden Celebration, Honor, and Evelyn? Basically an archway of red, yellow, white, and apricot roses. How pretty would that be?

We talk about it, and instead we stake 'em up and watch 'em grow, and every once in a while, cut them to bring inside.

They look beautiful! I don't have any experience with trellised roses but I think building the trellis is the easy part. Helping the roses winter-over is the real challenge.
