It&#8217;s right outside our front door and in a few weeks it will be absolutely covered with flowers. The flowers are not particularly large and they don&#8217;t have the huge petals of the hybrid tea roses but they have a wonderful fragrance and it blooms off and on all summer, with buds being killed by the first hard frost of winter.<\/p>\n<p>The books all say it grows to four feet. It must really like its location here, because I pruned it back to about five feet this winter. I was at least eight feet tall by the end of last year. Still, I don&#8217;t mind a rose doing better than expected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I usually only post once each day but those of you good enough to follow my little blog know that now and then I splurge and put a few pictures in a post or even put up multiple posts.
