    Happy new year to all. My wife's older daughter always has a big new year bash. I must admit I'm trying to find an excuse not to go, I find it all a bit much these days. See you on the other side.

    Recommend a climbing Rose please!

    The climbing rose, Mary Delaney is pretty, repeat flowers and is almost thornless. Its flowers are bigger than the two I mentioned above.
