Climbing Westerland Rose
Can you believe it?
I think I’m actually starting to run out of new pictures for my Green Thumb Sunday posts! (it doesn’t help that I do GTS on three blogs either).
I just don’t seem to have the variety of photos in stock that I normally do.
Perhaps it was all that rain this year, keeping me from getting outside and taking photos of my plants in different stages … or mucking up my plants so much that I didn’t want to take pictures! LOL
This is a beauty from earlier in the summer. It’s a Westerland climbing rose. It looks like it’s just beginning to develop buds again, so I’m sure it will be flush with blooms by the end of September .. and oh what blooms they are! This is a gorgeous rose with a heavenly scent.
Hmmm today is supposed to be fairly nice .. I think I’ll try to get out and take some new photos. Gotta store some up for winter GTS posts!

That is an absolutely perfect rose! I adore the colors. I trimmed my roses back just the other day, hoping for many fall blooms too!
