My friend, Hazel, has two old wagon wheels at the back of her garden. She and her husband brought them down from the camp, they used to own up country. They are about four feet tall, and the perfect backdrop for her Henry Kelsey climbing rose bush. The wheels are completely rusted and obviously very old. The look is perfect for her garden.

This shot was taken from the side, and this limb is from another rose bush I gave her. It is some sort of old fashioned rose that I brought down from my mother in law’s house in Bangor. My mother in law didn’t know the name of of the rose, as it was there when she moved in. Whatever it is, the fragrance is unbelievable. This rose is pink with single flowers, and has a habit of sending out runners everywhere. I will write more about it at another time.
