On the south side of the house we planted the yellow rose bush Jessie and her family gave us when Mom died. It's 2 years old in this picture (2023) and is in full bloom, although it's still pretty small.
Soon after we built the house, we transplanted a shoot from the rose bush at the farm. It's more than 100 years old and originally came from Louie's "Grandma Coke" (Anna Theama Gloede). Then Louie's Mom Ginny and Aunt Clara each got transplants. Now we do too. It has grown so much and here it is 9 years later, and 9 feet tall, in full bloom. Both this one and the yellow one smell so good!
