The more I look around my yard the more opportunities i see to put back plants I had before. Once I figured out a property line issue I realized that I can take a large pole and put thalictrum \'Splendide\' up it and some geranium \'Bevan\'s Variety\' in front of it. Then I got a brainwave - Rose \'Quadra\'. It can be easily trained. When the plant first comes up the vines are like butter, and I was able to train them horizontally. A few days later they become like stone.

The effect is great - you can wrap them around things. I wrapped it around the sides of my trellis.

So I ordered it from High Country Roses. Amazingly, it was for the same price I paid ten years ago - about $14.50.
