    These are three different views of the same bush. It's a climbing bush but isn't climbing this year because I cut it back last fall after the grasshoppers ate on it.

    This is the same type of bush not cut back. It is growing on a trellis attached to the neighbor's fence. Currently it is 9 or 10 feet high and three or four feet wide.

    Those are lovely. I'm glad the grashopper-eaten bush made it, and such a good-looking bush too.
