There are no new roses on my horizon either. Being surrounded by a state park that's teeming with multiflora rose, there's no way that I could ever control it. It's so sad to watch them go, one by one, that I'm sorely tempted to do one huge mass removal and get it over with.
My rose arbor will have to be home to other plants now. I'm thinking that since the ground beneath it is shaded, perhaps I'll try some climbing hydrangea for the clematis to grow through.
