One of my very favorite plants bloom in March. And it's happening... right now!The Lady Banks Rose was planted over ten years ago. In the Guinness Book of World Records the largest rose bush in the world happens to be the Lady Banks Rose in Tombstone, Arizona. This rose bush was planted in 1885 and covers an area of over 8000 feet and the base of the trunk is around 12 feet in circumference!! Be sure to click on my link and check it out for yourself! I'll be posting more pics as she continues to burst with more blooms! Doesn't it almost seems like they do that... like I should be able to hear the blooms pop open! My Lady never ceases to amaze me with her beauty!
I love all the fun info you share on your blog!
ReplyDeleteSpring is right around the corner from us. My bulbs are coming up!
Happy Day, Linda!
I like that rose. We may just have to put one in our yard. Does it drop a lot of leaves or petals? I'm wondering how it would be near the pool.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful! I lived in Sierra Vista and never went to see the one in Tombstone...
