My oldest son, Gary, made this bower for me for Mother's Day about 7 years ago. The Rose Bower is one of my favorite places in my garden. The Cecile Brunner Roses growing over the bower are sweetly scented. These pictures were taken from spring 2001 to spring 2004. I will put instructions for making a bower, on this gallery soon. I added a gallery, below, with pictures of the New Cecile Brunner Rose Bower that Gary made for me about 2 years after he made the first bower. Note: There are Cecile Brunner climbing roses and also Cecile Brunner shrub roses. The roses used on the bowers are the climbers.
