I got this climbing rose about a year ago and planted it next to the house. The poor thing has had a tough time. First a nasty vole chewed on it's roots a couple of times. Try as I might, I couldn't get rid of the vole. I thought I was rid of the vole because there were no signs of it once spring came around, but then I saw what looked like a distinct vole hole next to the rose. So I did some rearranging of plants. Some of the ornamental plants I had in cedar planters didn't survive the winter, so I had some room. I moved the rose out of the ground and into a cedar planter filled with potting soil and next to the arch I made. It seems to like it there ok, but I wonder what chewed on it's leaves. They were like that before I moved it.
