Got a new rose today and it was free

[Fernsdaddy]

There working on a house up the street from me and they were putting new siding on and had dug up the rose bush on the porch, I ask them what they were going to do with it and they said dump it in the trash so I said I would take it, now I have one more roses, the best part the tag was still on it, the tag read Red blaze climber, I have two all ready so why not 3. I love my roses.

Awesome! I am always rescuing plants from the dumpster and the recycling center. Last fall I found a Clematis at the mulch recycling center still in the pot from Lowe's! It is hang out with my houseplants until I can plant it when the weather is warmer.

Yes, pictures please! I would love to see your roses!!

There not much to see now I cut it back to about 5 inches , it will have a better chance of growing well. Becky, I have around a doz rose that were free, you never know when some one will say yes when you ask Free roses are great if you don't mind if they don't have a name.

It's so pretty! I love those round petals, they're perfect in every possible way. Thank you for posting this photo, looking at roses always puts me in a good mood.

That is so cool! I love red climbers. I would like to have one going up each corner of our house. So glad you noticed they had dug it up so you could give it a new home instead of it having to die.

There not much that goes on around my neighborhood that I don't know about, I walk the dog every morning and afternoon so I can see who is doing what to their yard and ho is digging out plants and tossing them into the trash, if I can't use them I will find some one who can. Retirement can be so much fun and never boring.
