We passed this house just a few blocks away. The roses are growing all the way to the top of the house!! I have never seen any growing this high! Usually roses are smaller bushes, and I have never seen any climb. I think these are Knockout roses.

Hi Ginny, I really like the quotations at the end of your post. Your photos are lovely, I have never seen it that high either.
Wow! They're spectacular.
The roses really turn the place into a florist shop
I would love to live in this house, and swing in this swing and pick some roses to put in a bottle in the house. it does look like a florist shop and its awesome
I would love that porch. It looks so pretty with the roses framing it. I could sit there for hours. I thin that would be my favorite spot.
What a pretty porch with all those beautiful roses. I've never seen them grow that high either. It seems like this has been a good year for roses.
Oh. How. Beautiful!! What a sight to behold! ~Andrea xoxo
There are climbing roses. My next door neighbor has the climbing roses that grace my side of the fence. They’re beautiful. I adore that porch. That would definitely be my happy space!
Morning Ginny...love the quote. I do having climbing roses in my back yard and I actually posted about them today..I love this color..so bright and beautiful.
I have never grown roses so do admire those folks that have had success like these homeowners.
Hi Ginny, wow, I love the color. Our roses are just starting to bloom.

Wow those climbing roses are amazing.
The roses are gorgeous - I didn't know they could climb like that either. You find everything.
These put on a stunning display when in full bloom. We had climbing roses on the trellis work of our garden where I grew up. I loved the even as a kid. Great quotes too!
This house is so charming, love it. Can you imagine watering these roses when they are draping around the posts like that? What an unusually pretty color they are too. They look orangish. I like that little white seat in front. It would be nice to sit out there for a while. : )

Beautiful.
Do they have a beautiful smell too? Some of the ones around here look lovely but have no aroma at all.
