Dr. Huey on the left, purple clematis on the right. I inherited this rose bush 24 years ago when we moved to this house. Whatever rose this was had already surrendered to the good doctor. I essentially ignored it for about 20 years and then I started to give it some loving care. I have over 500 blooms on this old-timer. Mine likes to get powdery mildew but I have not seen any blackspot in a while. Very easy to train - I don't have anything but the garage wall supporting it. In the next few days it will get a serious haircut - out with the old canes and in with the new!
