I decided to share some pictures of climbers that either I have or my friend has in their garden.

Climbers are still intimidating for me. I am slowly getting the hang of pruning them. But I don't quite know what to do with them if they go wild and toss out many long canes. I think the key is to have enough room for them. Zeffy is doing that know and I have to duck to walk down my side path. I plan to move it so it has lots more room.

My two Berries n'Cream are really wonderful. The plant has almost no thorns, has a delightful scent and is relatively mannered plant. It is gently teaching me how to take care of it.

Next is Soaring Spirits. The picture was taken by friend who had never used a digital camera before.

She also took the picture of Altissmo. She sure knows how to grow fabulous roses.
