The rose arbour was becoming a problem. At the rear end it was leaning to one side due to the weight of the overgrown climbing rose, and it was too high and too late to try and start pruning the rose, as we didn’t have a ladder high enough. Then, if we did actually prune it, we still had the wonky posts to consider.

Decision made, we compromised and got rid of the back and sides of the rose arbour, leaving the front arch only, which always reminds me a little of the Stargate.                   Wish we could use it to travel to other planets!
