Peggy Martin, Climbing American Beauty, Climbing Pinkie March 25, 2017

Peggy Martin is trained on a piece of chain link and American Beauty and Pnkie are trained on conveyor belts that have been secured in the ground with cement.

Peggy Martin is just beginning her bloom cycle.  She is a once blooming rose - she may spit out a few more blooms throughout the year,but not enough to call her remontant :

Climbing Pinkie will bloom throughout the growing season, but the spring is always a wonderful time for roses.




Climbing American Beauty is not having a great year, I'm afraid I didn't treat her very well last year - not very generous with the water.  But she hung on.  She's blooming, but I've seen some better years.  This is a once-blooming rose, great smell.


Here are the two climbers that are growing on the conveyor belts.  These are both relatively young roses, Cl American Beauty was planted three years ago, and pinkie was planted a year ago, maybe two.  I expect amazing things from these two roses as they mature.  I plan to join the two conveyor belts together with chain and train the roses across the chain some day.
