Climbing Rose

Climbing roses are a classic complement in any garden big or small especially if they are made to climb on a wall or a trellis. They are excellent on a bare wall that gets enough sunshine. 

Planted the rose on one of the side corners of the house; did not bloom during the first year and bloomed the second year. While most climbing roses bloom only once or twice a year, this one has blooms all summer long with occasional dead heading.

The white blooms are about 4 inches, fully double with a lot of petals with a slight scent and the blooms are in a cluster like a floribunda. The blooms are produced booth on old and new cane.

Spring

Spring is the season when the garden starts bursting with color. Spring is my second favorite season after fall, and I always anticipate spring. I’d like to share some of my favorite spring pictures in my yard.

The pomegranate which is all bare stalks and twigs in winter is now full with it small leaves and bright red flowers.

Every Southern California garden should have an orange tree, it does not grow very tall and always having fruit and flowers all year long; flowers, young and ripe fruit all at the same time.

Roses which has been pruned in mid winter is now full of flower buds ready to bloom, this one is an English rose but I forgot the specific type. It has a strong fragrance but like most English roses it only blooms in spring and then another one before fall.
