This rose is planted strategically in the garden where the flat translucent red thorns catch the backlighting from the afternoon sun.  I purchased it last summer on an outing with Frankie and Susan and am SO glad I bought it!!

In my Garden today May18, 2009

I am getting this area where the old tree was cut down last year.  I decided to showcase the trunk and give it some “decor” including the butterfly bench and will have orange zinnias and nicotiana towering in the later summer
