This was by fiftieth birthday gift (six years ago).
Birthday rose
This rose continues to flower until the first frost so it’s still full of flower when most of the other roses in the garden are over.
The chicken’s strip is filling in nicely.
The chicken’s strip
A closer view
I think that by next year this strip will have completely filled in. Every evening after dinner we take a walk up the garden and we give the girls some dandelion leaves through the mesh. The girls wait expectantly for this end of the day treat and rush at the leaves as if they are starved.
Most people are surprised that I grow dandelions for the girls but it’s irresistible fun to have leaves on tap, as it where, just for them.

I think it is a great idea to grow a row of dandilions for the girls, and think your Rose is lovely, I prefere the old fasioned Roses.
I am glad you agree about my dandelions and I like the old fashioned roses too.
