    Here's  mine 
    Problem 1 . We faced it   directly  to  the house  so we feel like we're  on stage  if we sit there. We live in a terrace  but no obviously nosey  neighbours 
    Have a think about the angles  before  you site  it .

    Problem 2 the plants that made up the back wall got a disease so I've eliminated  them.    however I'm  glad because it can be a window. 

    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Dublin Bay. It's a pillar rose and an absolute nightmare to bend.
    Wonderful scent if you've got a ladder.

    Ah, I have eyed that up many times. I guess young growth is easiest to bend into shape?

    No. Forget it.
    If you have a three storey house, grow it up the side.. It will travel vertically to infinity and beyond!
    It's taken me Many years to get the odd one to bend without snapping and when you do, it's a wide arc and a pigeon sits on it - game over. Try again.
    It seems to have appreciated the cold wet spring. I've never seen so many flowers before.

     This year or every year? Mine are all ,apart from one sulker who's on notice, are doing great this year. I think they appreciate the water and the cool weather.
