Mermaid

All of a sudden lots of stuff in the garden is blooming again.
I guess it is a combination of cooler temperatures and rain.
I went out today and took enough pictures for the next few days.
This is a picture of a rose we have had a long time. The Mermaid is a climbing rose and this one is huge. It is planted along a fence and the canes go out in each direction for over twelve feet. It is mainly a spring bloomer but does get a few blooms at this time of year. I will see if I can find some of the spring pictures so you can get an idea on another day.
In addition to being a very tough rose it has very big and sharp thorns so my wife has nicknamed it Dangerfield.
It's only problem is that it is somewhat prone to blackspot.
