Oh, yeah. I KNEW it wouldn't post. Houzz is still terminally ill. I'll go back into hiding.

I can see it! Truly gorgeous!! :-)

Gorgeous photo, Jeri! Mine isn't blooming now.

Sheila, this plant just had this one glorious spray. But we almost lost it, and it's in the middle of staging a comeback, so it's good to see.

I can see why you want this gorgeous beauty, Jeri! Mine seems to be resting or done for the season, I'm not sure.

The lighting in your picture is stunning, Jeri, and so is the rose. That's the most dramatic and beautiful photo I've ever seen of this rose.

It's a most beautiful rose, (though I'm one of that small band that doesn't like the scent) which has staggered along in my garden under all kinds of adverse conditions, aways on the brink of extinction. Two or three years ago I took the frail surviving plant and plopped it in in a good--I hoped--hole close to an Italian cypress, and bless my soul if it isn't looking relatively happy. If it can continue to compete with its neighbor all may be well at last. My plan was for it to climb the cypress. We'll see. Really a wonderful rose.

I’m really loving mine here—super-healthy! This one fits the old Lincoln quote to a T: “We can complain that roses have thorns, or rejoice that thorny plants have roses” because she’s got killer spikes for such a dainty blossom! :-)

I love love that rose too. As most of you know, we have one bush which is growing all the way to the roof on our 3 story house. Here are some pics from about 3 weeks ago: (btw, I have never had any problems posting pics on here, even since the "change". I just click on "Houzz Photo", then I drag my pic onto the little screen that shows up, then when it says Insert, I post it)

Sooo pretty, Jackie! (Seeing pictures of yours are what made me want this rose!) :-)
