Default Rose season ends abruptly- - for half the garden at least

For five mintues things were WILD AND WOOLLY!!

A huge branch of a tulip tree slammed into half my rose garden. I will
be cutting it up today--it's as big as a medium sized tree-- and
surveying the damage.

From what I could see last night the worst hit were my R. moyesii and
R. xanthina. They used to be BIG shrubs; now they are modest bushes.

Ah well, the roses will probably recover, but the garden layout will
never be quite the same.

How scary those five minutes must have been. I hope the damage isn't too bad.
But it's better the branch fell on the rose garden than the house. Human
damage is far worse.
