‘Clotilde Soupert, Climbing’ is in residence and upright which proves that anything can be accomplished if you just keep going.
 |
| She has a lot of canes and several 12-ft canes. I wish I could say she doesn't even miss the ones that the squirrels severed. |
 |
| The before shot - after I removed her from the trellis. |
 |
| I re-used the metal trellis. Some things were just meant to be. I never measured the space between the posts or the width of the trellis or even thought about installing it this way. This space-cadet gardener forgot that this is exactly what Pinkie is climbing on. |
 |
| I also didn't intend that DH would be lending me his tie-down straps permanently. I just needed a way to hoist her up. I don't know why I figured I could just give them back when I was done. Just ditzy, I guess. It took a rope and two straps to get her vertical...and lots of strips of pantyhose to get her tucked in nice. |
 |
| I like it. |
 |
 |
| So much for glamor shots. Doesn't everyone keep their alfalfa pellets and Milorganite on the front porch? At least temporarily? |
 |
| The new look. |
Everything looks so pretty there. Your Rose gardens really look inviting.

Thank you, Cher. I've gotten to the stage where I'm feeling that. It feels like the garden is really put together and looking right. Last evening DH & I sat on the swing and enjoyed the breeze.
Deletethe wood next to the metal on the trellis looks so nice. You did a great job. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate that, Crybrug.
DeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks, FlowerLady, for thinking so.
DeleteOh, Sherry - I love it! She looks great! And the trellis really makes a grand entrance! And yes, I only "see" the tools and things left out AFTER I've taken a picture! :)
ReplyDeleteHolleygarden, I wonder if I should have wrapped a few canes loosely around her instead of sending them all straight. I wonder if she'll bloom on the vertical canes. I may go back and adjust them.
DeleteIt looks great!!! It will be gorgeous in full bloom. :o)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Casa Mariposa. I can't wait!!
DeleteLove the trellis !!! Beautiful !!! The rose is gorgeous even before blooming ...
ReplyDeleteFantastic.......Super job......the black iron is the piece de resistance! Like Casa Mariposa can't wait to see it bloom!
