I think it started last year when we notice it had climbed up a tree on our side. This year it kind of collapsed onto our side, and the spur grew so much that I swear we are getting more benefit than they are.
What do I do? It seems an absolute travesty to cut it off, but I have a sneaking guilty feeling that we should be offering it back?
Tell them about your blog and they may leave you a comment to give you some guidance in this dilemma. LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely visitor. Your neighbor must take very good care of it for it to bloom like that.

You are right: this rose is absolutely wonderful and gorgeous! Did you cut it?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Wow, gorgeous deep red velvety roses.
ReplyDeleteSuch a vivid color! Now that is something that would a welcome departure from the typical things that usually happen with neighbors like fighting over dogs barking, etc. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence that right as I read your comment on my blog about simplifying, and consumption, that I was biting into a decadent treat.
ReplyDeleteHa ha! :)
Thank you for visiting and for your comments.
ReplyDeleteHazel - you're right, I should ask really, I'm sure they don't mind.
There's just life - that's what I am thinking, she must have a brilliant secret. I've asked before as their garden is beautiful and it seems to be deep watering regularly.
Reader Wil - I did initially cut a couple then felt guilty so have left it since then. I will deadhead them before they form rose hips, if only to keep the flowers coming!
Rosey and Mangocheeks, the colour is ace, it's the best red rose I've ever seen. I really really must get a cutting. I'd love to know what type it is.
