The legs on my little arbor arch rusted and busted and the whole thing fell over, but my #peggymartinrose isn’t even worried about it. 😅

A red rose, a bucket of Pink Sweet Williams and a Peggy Martin rose. In the back, some Amaryllis, Nasturiums and Mountain mint.

I was given a cutting of a Peggy Martin rose last spring within a couple of months, it grew to this point and bloomed. It is so special to have the "Katrina Rose", can't wait to see what it will do this year. #RoseWednesday #PeggyMartinRose #EastCoastKin #Gardening 🌱.
