Eye Paint as a climber for Tammy

11 years ago

It wasn't supposed to be a climber but after the first year in the ground, it demanded a trellis.

The fall canes were so long it needed to go up. So DH made a brass trellis for me from internet plans.

The rest is history. I just love this rose. My best blooming climber by far.

Thanks, Kathy! That is beautiful! I'm curious to see how tall it will grow here. I'll be sure to plant it toward the back, or where I can place a pillar, in case it does get as tall as yours. I think maybe I'll plant it with some white minis near the base (or yellow would look nice too) Thanks again, I'm excited for it to grow faster now! :)
