| I have a nice garden shed, and behind it has become my "scrap pile", lots of forcynthia i cut down had to be moved somewhere, and ended up there. I often toss weeds and whatever behind it. I am thinking of a rambling rose to grow over this area, id love rebloom, i know there are just a few to pick from. it can get huge, thats what i need! Heres a pic of the shed, sorry its so big, but the rose will be planted in between the shed and fence (theres 6ft between them)and in sun.
Thank you for your help! :) |

| Lily, you don't say where you are located. You might get more reliable suggestions from people who know your area, climate, conditions. Jeri

| 'New Dawn', perhaps. Is that a tree planted near that bench? What kind is it? If it gets large it's going to shade out everything eventually. |

| I'll take a guess it is a Neem tree. |

Its a dwarf flowering cherry tree, called Subhirtella weeping cherry, said to get 12ft tall and wide, and honestly, i forgot about it! Do you ever plant something and think its never going to get that big? Lol I always buy things and never imagine theyll take off.
Lets imagine the tree isnt there, so i can still put a rose back there till it does get big! :) |
