I’m on the road and remembering some of the pictures from home. This is a wild rose, grown from the root stock of a hybrid rose that long since froze back. Some of the newer varieties don’t hold up well, but the roots they are grafted on to may produce surprises of their own. In part of my effort to appreciate things in my daily life, I take pictures of things that strike me, like this wild rose on our property.

You’re making me jealous! In Alaska we don’t see too many climbing roses as beautiful as yours. My New Dawn climbing rose is 2 1/2 years old now and only about 2 feet high…but full of buds. I guess I should be grateful for that at least.
