I took this photo of the Clematis Jackmanii in July 2003. Believe it or not there are probably at least three small roses in the flower bed below that clematis.

These days – that clematis now grows over the roof of the garage on the left, and spreads at least 10 feet more to the right. It’s HUGE.

The little roses that I’m telling you are in that photo – that you can’t really see, are now as tall as the fence or taller.

Here’s a photo of two of the roses just a bit to the right of the above photo this year. All my roses are four to twelve feet tall this year. It’s amazing how much they’ve grown in just a few years.
