I bought a couple of climbing roses early this summer. Generally I stay away from roses, or they stay away from me by dying :-( I wanted a climbing yellow rose for the garden fence, this was suppose to be yellow. I was disappointed at first but have come to appreciate this salmon coloured beauty (it does have a yellow center) the scent is amazing. Not sure if it will still be around come next year, given my past with roses, but for now I will enjoy this flush of blooms.
