They do cause trouble. My dragon was a gift from my son, so I have to keep and display it, even though it is broken. 'Souvenir de la Malmaison' tends to blackspot and soggy flowers for me as well, but I'm hoping as it grows up the oak tree, it will be happier. Ah, these gifts. They do cause trouble.

Though it actually only has one stem and no blooms or buds at all, I want to keep it as it is a gift of one of my sons.

Wait a few months for the heat of summer and the garden will look like an overgrown vacant lot! Nancy: Everything looks good at this time of year after a fairly cool and wet winter.

Mine's hardly got its leaves above the water. Simon Hi Karen

I think I’ve said before, but I do like the water lily. Mine’s hardly got its leaves above the water.

What a magnificent color! Everything else looks like it's doing very well, too. Oh, that rose really is heavenly! What a magnificent color! Everything else looks like it’s doing very well, too.

You never see anything except the blooms peeping out from here and there because it grows up a medium-sized live oak and droops down from that. I'm aiming for the same effect, starting with a pretty small live oak, so that tree and rose can grow together. The Souvenir that inspired me is in a house museum garden in Savannah.

I have that one but I really should move it. It is being crowded by a Henry Lauder's Walking Stick that grows over it. I agree with you about Souvenir - that is a rose!
