Day 343 - Rose

When I bought my house, there was NOTHING planted in the back yard.  It was merely a lawn, and not a very nice one at that.  My sister and I talked about how nice a climbing rose would look against the side of the garage and she suggested one called Dublin Bay.  Boy am I glad she did.  This rose is bulletproof.  It blooms from May until the first frost and is quite disease resistant. I cut it back in the spring and just neaten it up during the blooming season.  The flowers have a fruity fragrance and the velvety petals are one of the truest reds I've ever seen.
