Scroll down to "Humes' Parks' NOT" and read about Parks' Yellow
There's another photo of Vina Banksia at the very end but the first photo I am sending is better.
Thank you Lyn, for bringing the corral support to my attention.
Zuzu and Suzanne, you both have a large collection of roses. Have you ever encountered these long whip-like canes that Neil and I are seeing? I still don't know if it's a mutation and/or a rootstock compatibility issue. In the meantime, I have secured the roses in question with 8' x 1" thick wooden stakes. The funny thing is when I started getting back into roses a few yrs. ago, it was suggested to place a wooden stake into the ground prior to planting the roses. Sorry I did not do that initially, now I am taking the chance of striking roots - oh well - live and learn.
Cindi, thank you very much for sending the American Rose Annual by Dr. Buck and the garden web link as they were both an interesting informative read.
This thread has certainly been a fun learning experience - that's one of reason's I am here - to learn and share experiences.
Cheers
