About 10 years ago I planted a Kiftsgate rose in a bed under our douglas firs. I had seen one growing in Sultan by the middle school and decided we had the perfect conditions. My hope was that it would grow up through the trees and it has.
The flowers are very simple 5 petal roses with yellow centers and they don't smell like much.
And their thorns have mangled plenty of my shirts. But I still love them.
Originally I strung a line of jute up to the lower branches, but now they have found their pathway and will reach the top someday.
