I moved into my home 3 years ago. One of the many nice features of the yard is a huge Pascali tree rose, approximately ten feet tall and six feet around. It's really lovely, with hundreds of pinkish-white flowers that leave a carpet of petals on the grass underneath.
For many years the rose recieved only minimal care from the elderly owner and a helpful neighbor, but it seems to be doing just fine. I'm no rose expert, so I've only done mild yearly prunings and reenforced the metal and wood support that the previous owner devised. I was worried that our recent harsh winters might cause some damage, but it's as prolific this year as it ever was.
The previous owners saved the original tag from this plant showing the date when it was planted: May 12, 1973. That makes it just two years younger than me, and a whole lot prettier. The price was $4.25. I'd say they got their money's worth.
