    this is a beautiful climbing rose my mum planted for me for our wedding anniversary we were married in may last year and the rose is called Maigold she planted it with pansys and lobelia this picture was in may when we got it it is now on the second round of flowering it is a true marvel to see each morning it will need a more permanent home than where we have it just now but our garden/ yard is a work in progress hence all our plants being in pots

    The rose is a lovely shape and "good enough to eat' color. Good start to your garden.

    thank you i think it is beautiful once this second round of blooms open i will post the pictures again it has grown so much we really need to get moving to get it a better home but we do not get very much sun in our yard/garden only from 4pm to around 8pm and in a small area the result of living in a very built up area the highest flower buds are noe above that window sill you can see and getting taller than our miniature tomato plant, I have ME and fibromyalgia so i am limited with the work i can physically do in the garden so pots are good for me but my hubby is going to help me get it sorted out so we can make it look better i do enjoy seeing the flowers in this urban yard they brighten up the day the rose is like a little sun even on the grey days

    What a wonderful anniversary present. It's a beautiful colour and the leaves are so glossy and healthy. May it flower for you for years and years to come. :stew1:
