Gorgeous Maryvonne!

I am a rose gardener too.
Spent lots of time cleaning out bindweed from one particular rose garden yesterday.

This is my favourite rose so far. It's called Dublin Bay. It is a very rich dark red which doesn't fade or turn magenta. It's classed as a climber but grows more like a very large shrub rose. Roses don't like our climate due to the rain and almost constant high humidity but this pretty one has been doing very well for many years now.






I will miss this plant when we move.
