Another disappointing result in our back garden this year. This was one of two flowers we got on our rose bush, which not only didn’t produce roses but shot its stems (or whatever they’re called) way up in the air and over our fence, to the point that everything had to be cut off. The woman who does some gardening for me had pruned it last winter, but I think I’ll do it myself this year because this has never happened before with this bush, which was already here when we bought our house in 1988.
Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.
