Unknown White Climbing Rose

   I have two of these roses, both on separate arbors. They are pretty vigorous growers, and survive my z6 garden very well, even in clay soil, and very little to no amendments.It has some dangerous thorns, and not much noticeable fragrance , at least to my nose. They are a true white, and as you can see some buds have a blush of pink. I am trying to get them identified. If anyone knows this once blooming beauty, please let me know.
























This is not a small plant. These were taken AFTER we cut off 3'-4' branches on top growing towards the sky.It is growing from the right side, and dragging the ground on the left.

More Roses

  I have had this beautiful old rose for so long, I have no idea what its name is, but like all the other roses I have, this seems to be really putting on a show this year.

Garden Blogger's Bloom Day

    I believe this is my first time to participate in Garden Blogger's Bloom Day hosted by May Dream Gardens.  This seemed like lots of fun, and I know how much I enjoy seeing what everyone else has blooming. So this is my contribution. I hope you enjoy the show :)
Welcome to my garden. 


Climbing Peace....first blooms for Spring


My favorite Iris, growing near the pond.


My first ever Lupine blooms! Luckily I have lots more on coming.

Second season for blooms on this gorgeous red Peony. My camera doesnt show the true deep red it really is.


Unknown red rose bud growing at the base of the front porch.


The same red rose opened fully. Again the camera doesnt show the deep jewel tones of this red.


excuse this photo, blogger is screwing up and adding the bottom of another shot to this. This is a picture of my Spiderwort.


This is the first time I have seen this clematis bloom. Now i need to get it Id'd


 This beautiful, old whitish peony is probably my favorite. This shot was taken early this morning before it had a chance to full open.
The next shot shows it opened in full, taken just a few hours later.
