Can't wait to see it covered in roses! <br />I love vines, and when we were getting our fence built, Mr. Red House had them build me an arbor over one of the gates as a present for me. Arbors are such great gifts!! Much better than jewelry... (only a gardener would say that!)Indiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004102653896371835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-22289070422747188492012-05-27T07:47:01.918-07:002012-05-27T07:47:01.918-07:00I have a lot of plans for everything around it, to...I have a lot of plans for everything around it, too.

I just have a few tweaks now (removing more grass, putting in a pathway, etc.) and one day I will be posting an 'after' picture!

Unfortunately, I fell in love with the blooms of New Dawn rose, and purchased two - one for the gazebo and one for the arbor. New Dawn is very thorny.
