HD: Late April '17. This past week our Mary Washington Climbing Rose has started to form hundreds, no, much more likely thousands, of buds in the usual clusters! It is going to be *spectacular* when it blooms, and the scent is fabulous, too! Our other home has a Mary Washington rose growing against the North side (it doesn't like direct hot sunlight) of our 2.5 story house. We can smell it from the South side of the house (the opposite side) when it is in bloom!
