Roses for the Arbor

For a long time, I dreamed of having a rose arbor in the back yard.

Then, last year, for Father's  Day, my daughter, son-in-law and I bought one for hubs.

(If you missed the post on it and are interested, you can read it here.)

Well, it must take a lot of patience and time to grow plants that go around the arbor.

We've tried roses, clematis and several other plants but nothing has climbed even half way up.

So, in the meantime, silk roses have proven to be a good substitute!

That's  not the greatest of solutions but it's okay for now.


The arbor was love at first sight and is one of my favorite back yard decorations.




DO YOU HAVE A ROSE  ARBOR? IF YES, WHAT KIND OF PLANTS DO YOU HAVE ON TOP OF IT?
