They were blooming first of August and still are. I think there are two bushes planted in one spot. I didn't pay much attention while getting settled in so maybe one bloomed then the other or maybe they are both blooming for a long time? I also think there are weeds underneath but not sure. There are brown and yellow spots on some of the leaves (but not all). Some of the stems are 2-3 ft tall and old, brown dry (dead?) with no blooms while others are thick and green and about 4-5 foot tall, large enough around that I couldn't put my arms around it if I wanted to (too many thorns).

On the other side of the porch is yet another, no shrub there, just two long stems lying on the ground. Don't see a base of any sort but again, I think there are weeds all around. This might be a climber that needs a trellis? Haven't seen any blooms on it that I can remember.

Pics I had to take with my cell phone as the new computer is incompatible with the older digital camera so the quality isn't the greatest but at least a starting point.
