| I'm enjoying this Picasa thing at the moment - so I thought I'd try to build up a gallery of photos through the seasons rather than flood the forum with individual pics. The image quality isn't all that could be desired, but not bad for web browser viewing
Best wishes

| Oh my, so dreamy and beautiful. I love the spring flowers, tulips are such a delight. One of your tulips reminds me of Apricot Beauty. I love the colors of your roses and tulips, all the flowers. |

| Absolutely lovely. The tulips are especially beautiful. The climbers on the wall really appeal to me. Jon, can you please tell me how you attach them? I couldn't really spot a method of fastening them and, since I have Reve d'or on my house wall, I'd like to know how you manage that. Thanks. Ingrid |

| the slideshow was delightful-----I had Crimson Glory many, many years ago but I don't think it was a climber---it was the most beautiful dark red- Keep these wonderful pictures coming---I love them--- Florence |

| Hi Ingrid - the wires are spaced about every four bricks and run through 'vine eyes' that are driven or screwed into the mortar about every six or eight feet, and hold the wire a few inches from the surface. That way the taut wires follow the line of the mortar and are pretty much invisible. If you intend to cover an entire wall it is best to wire it properly before you start :) The rose canes are tied neatly to the wires with green jute twine. This will only last a season or two, but that is good as it makes you think about pruning and re-tying each year :) Hope this helps. Thanks for your kind comments. |
