My roses are here!

We have a white house. Even the neighbors call it the white house. Off white exterior, off-white walls, off white carpet and linoleum--well, you get the picture. I've been slowly adding color both inside and out, and I wanted a punch of color in the landscape. So I ordered 3 climbing rose bushes--2 for the pillars on our front porch, and one for the railing off the back porch. They came today:


They may not be much to look at (yet), but give them time. The 2 going in front are a beautiful red, and have Irish names that we love (Dublin Bay and Irish Heartbreaker), and the one going in back is a multicolor rose called Joseph's Coat. I can't wait for summer!
