Ravaged by possums
At this time last year this arch was covered in flowers from two varieties of roses. At the moment there is only a single rose to be seen as the possums or possum have been eating the shoots. I don't know what I can do about this. Perhaps I will cover the arch with a netting that would make it more difficult for the vermin to nibble on the shoots.
With the shoots eaten away there is not a hope for the rose plants to develop buds and flowers.
This single rose survived the vermin. I hope the buds alongside will survive to give some beauty in this ravaged spot of the garden.

The roses are back
A Mr Lincoln rose in full bloom. It has a light scent.
The Mr Lincoln bush is right in front of the front porch and as it tends to grow up high it makes a nice display. Buds and blossoms.
I would have to check for the name of this rose, pink and white and scented.
A couple of early white icebergs.
