Austin Rose Teasing Georgia

About a yellow climbing rose with pictures for a gardens friend.  At least that’s my excuse for another post on roses.  And I’m sticking to it!

 

I don’t remember this rose being classified as a climber when I purchased it.  But I planted it near an arbor because Austin roses do tend to throw long canes.  I ordered it because I’d just lost a cat to old age, a cat with burnt yellow/orange markings, Sweet Georgia Brown.  Her color; her name.

The place that I planted her has gotten shadier every year so Georgia is trying to walk down the hill toward the sun and away from the trellis. I either need to coax her back up the hill or come up with another method of supporting her.

She’s been robust and colorful every year in my zone 5b garden
