This rose bush was given to me in 2003 from a fellow who had it in his newly purchased home but did not want it.
It has been mostly neglected over the last five years and has even been overgrown with weeds but still manages to survive. I have pulled the weeds this year and planned on taking better care this year.
We are now in a drought situation and our well water is reserved for cows and veggie garden, so my roses are not getting water. But - it is still thriving.
It's a tough old rose bush!!
