The Rhonda Rose

There's some good news about the climbing Rhonda rose. I had let it get way too tall and cut it back severely this spring. Now I see that it has new growth with buds on it. I've had this rose for years but only just now noted that it blooms only on new growth. That's a good motivator to keep it chopped back more regularly. It's a pretty pink rose with a light scent and puts out single flowers on cuttable stems. That's rare for a climber. It sounds better than it looks. I do a lousy job with roses.
