To all our neighbours south of the longest friendly border in the world, I wish you a happy Independence Day. Here to celebrate with me is Rosa ‘Fourth of July’, complete with broad stripes and bright stars. All you need to complete the picture is a blue sky. And, as it’s a climber, that might not be difficult. Unfortunately, it was raining when this beautiful rose and I were introduced, or I’d have added the blue myself. Enjoy!
Happy Fourth of July (Rose)

Thoroughly enjoying your blog! This has absolutely nothing to do with your post, but I thought you might be a good person to ask – any idea what this is??:

That's a lovely rose. Thank you much. I'm going to enjoy in really traditional small town way — it's parade time!
Hey Helen! Thanks for your help! I am so excited to find out what the mysterious flower is. I had a feeling you would know. I think I will move out from behind the garage and into the garden. As far as the bags go – yes – they are washable. I recommend cold water to keep the colour fresh. I usually hang to dry (although the fabric is pre-shrunk) and iron on medium heat. They look as good as new this way.
Your rose is more appropriate today than mine is 🙂
Hope you had a good Canada Day
