Spectacular Marianne.

[leene_chan]

If only I knew how to imbed images in this blog! Marianne #2 is spectacular in her 4th year, 10'x12' and covered with enormous apricot blend flowers. After she's done blooming we are going to have to prune her, because she's blocking a walkway. But really, she is magnificent--the largest rose we have by far. Constance Spry comes in second place. And we've only had that one for 3 years!

I have three big vases filled with Mariannes right now. I could cut more, but I want to leave some flowers for the bees.
