Wow, those are gorgeous, what a terrific way to drape the roses! Wish you were one of my neighbors, I'd rather see this than the kids playhouse behind me:)

you have a very beautiful garden and wonderful roses. The blossoms are very beautiful! The Zephrine Drouin's are so lovely.

Ditto on the way you have your roses climbing up that post and the chain. I think what your are doing will solve my problem of wanting to use climber along my fence with out really touching the fence.

Thank you for the beautiful pics and the great idea.

Gorgeous!!!

Thanks so much for your kind comments and glad you like the swag.....I always worried about how many canes to take up but it seems that 3 trained around the post and then on to the chain works out best for me.....I used metal eyelets screwed into the posts to tie the canes to, long eyelets too, I thought it kept the roses a bit more off the posts and gave it more air circulation. I could have pruned those couple of long canes that grow out horizontally on each end but when I saw how many buds it had I didn't have the heart to cut them...:).....Next year I might just have the canes on the posts and chains and cut the horizontals but hey I was so excited about them long budded canes, I thought to myself, "I ain't cutting them things off"....:)
Again glad you enjoyed the photos...Have a nice weekend.

Paul, your garden is really wonderful. I love flowers very much and admire beautiful gardens and the skills of the gardeners who create such beauty. I am starting to create a rose garden myself, so it is always interesting and educational to see the work of more experienced and knowledgable persons. Thank you for the great photographs.
