First ever flowers! 3 year I have waited patiently on this too flower. Some of you may remember it was chopped down in it's prime January 2012 - the fence came down severing the rose directly above the bud union. It flowers on old wood so I've had to wait.

Drat!
Accidents apart, I thought climbing roses climbed.
My two are squatting with smirks on their faces.
I bet they laugh, when I'm out of earshot!
