This rose goes perfectly with this weeks Photo Hunter theme doesn’t it? I mean it’s name is Antique’89 – what could be better?

This is a rose that I wrote about several times last year. It finally grew this past year. I think if I hadn’t battled it and shaped it as I described in a post called “War of the Roses” it would have been 20 feet tall and hanging over patio table making it extremely dangerous to sit at the table. This rose is a monster. It’s thorns are huge and catch on your clothes and skin so easily.

If this rose grows this year like it did last year I think I’m going to have to move it to it’s own area away from the seating area. It’s a wicked rose.

  11. What unusual and beautiful colors. I don’t know anything about roses, but I have not seen that combination of colors before and I love it!
