The Thursday Theme for this week is Think Pink! To find pink at my house I need go no farther than the corner of my garage. This vigorous rose is a Climbing New Dawn. It is a delicate shell pink and has a faint but pleasant rose scent.
This is an amazingly hardy rose. I started this one from a cutting about 15 years ago. My mother was given one of these when I was a boy. She planted it beside a little shed in the back yard and it grew up and over the shed into the alley behind it. Released in 1930, this very healthy climbing rose is a repeat blooming sport of
Dr. W. Van Fleet. It blooms profusely in the spring and intermittently over the rest of the year.

ReplyDeleteThe smell must be lovely! I love this shade of pink.
ReplyDeleteI love how you let it take over a corner of your garage opening.
ReplyDeleteYogi - When it finishes the initial bloom cycle I will do some pruning and tie back the loose ends but for now I will just enjoy it. You are welcome to some cuttings.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful climbing rose BUT how do you get your car into the garage?
ReplyDeleteI love this particular color and the way this bush crawls. How lucky for you the climate in Texas favors a year-long bloom.
ReplyDeleteBest TT color I've seen so far.
