In my post of May 23 I told you about the gigantic Cecile Brunner climbing rose that I managed to eventually destroy with my pruning technique. The rose bush (shown in a 2006 photo) was the largest one I had ever seen and full of fragrant flowers.As it turns out, our septic tank leak was only about three feet away from the roots of the rose bush. So, putting 2 and 2 together (make that No. 2), we see where the vigorous growth was coming from.
We had the tank pumped yesterday, and I'm waiting on some help to start the repair.
