I have always thought this was an extremely lovely rose.

A very vigorous grower! Lovely!

Beautiful!

love that rose. Thanks for sharing.

Sweet! Thanks, Steve!! :-)

I have several VERY tall roses with lots of 'bare knees' showing and would like to encourage leaves lower on the bush. I live in the Delta area of the SFO East Bay.

Can I prune mine (novice) like this come winter?

Handel was born in 1685 in Halle, Duchy of Magdeburg, to Georg Händel and Dorothea Taust.[3] His father, 63 when George Frideric was born, was an eminent barber-surgeon who served the court of Saxe-Weissenfels and the Margraviate of Brandenburg.[4] According to Handel's first biographer, John Mainwaring, he "had discovered such a strong propensity to Music, that his father who always intended him for the study of the Civil Law, had reason to be alarmed. He strictly forbade him to meddle with any musical instrument but Handel found means to get a little clavichord privately convey'd to a room at the top of the house. To this room he constantly stole when the family was asleep".[5] At an early age Handel became a skilful performer on the harpsichord and pipe organ.[
