BUT the time has come for me to have it a little easier and still have a beautiful gardening. It is working, I believe in another couple of years I will be there :)<br /><br />I love honeysuckle and havef them climbing through hedgerows, over arches, through trees. I love the scent, also like to see the Hawk moths feeding from the blooms in the evening. It is not invasive here.....rarely do I find it gets out of control.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186002245944913029.post-9254248278729571502014-06-05T02:54:01.631-07:002014-06-05T02:54:01.631-07:00What a lovely story.

What a wonderful memory. The scent from my childhood that always sticks with me is honeysuckle. Not until just a few years ago did I realize that my parents had planted several starts of honeysuckle when they moved, not realizing it was invasive. A few years ago Dad, already in his 80's, finally tackled the difficult job of pulling it all out:)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186002245944913029.post-75498210282140715872014-06-04T14:02:38.385-07:002014-06-04T14:02:38.385-07:00Roses always remind me of my grandmother.

And it never failed to grow for her. Love your rose and I am especially fond of lavender.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186002245944913029.post-90666824799660621642014-06-02T21:01:29.635-07:002014-06-02T21:01:29.635-07:00Hi Lisa,

I like acquiring plants this way, grabbing a bargain and nursing them back to health. Unfortunately, Arthur Bell was too far gone and I lost the small amount of money I paid, but worth the gamble. Your Arthur Bell looks beautiful, I do love pale yellow roses.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186002245944913029.post-84490688508304416142014-06-02T01:03:18.675-07:002014-06-02T01:03:18.675-07:00My Great Grandmother died when I was ten....for th...My Great Grandmother died when I was ten....for this reason I can remember her well.
