I had intended to put this rose near a trellis but really like how they look cascading over this rock wall.

2 years ago, on a walk, I saw this majestic, blooming vine on a tree in the woods. I picked some flowers with stems and rooted them. 1 year ago, I moved them to this hillside herb and flower garden.

The tree where the vine was no longer has this gorgeous vine. The county apparently trimmed the tree back from the power line and took out the vine in the process.

Yet, she is a determined vine. Today, she sent this middle finger (2nd photo) to the county line maintenance crew. Perhaps I shall harvest a few of my blooms, root them, and plant them at the base of another tree nearby.

Be like this rose.
