Rose "Kiftsgate"

In a fit of enthusiasm, my wife and I fell for a specimen of this rose, and are now considering what to do with it. We have a very ugly small tree which flowers to an almost negligible extent, and has barely enough leaves to keep it alive. It occured to us to just let the Kiftsgate loose on it, without bothering with any regular training. Is this a viable or a bum idea? I'm not sure if it's Kiftsgate or some other Godzilla-rose, but in the University of Washington Arboretum in Seattle, there's a rose that climbs to the top of a two-hundred foot high western red cedar and then cascades down the outside of the foliage. You have been warned. -- Rodger Whitlock Victoria, British Columbia, Canada [change "atlantic" to "pacific" and "invalid" to "net" to reply by email] |
