    Hi Jen,

    Thank you, glad you are pleased as am I.
    I think the even growth is due to a "lazy Susan" that it sits on on the garden table as when sitting I give it a quick turn each day also a even trim at the initial stages of growing , also like to thank you for the botanical name :snork:

      Thank you, might have to see where I can put up an 8' high trellis somewhere :scratch::smile:

        Well, it doesn't have to be 8' high if it doesn't suit you as you can always try to keep the climbing rose within the bounds of what you want by judicious pruning. I have the 8' trellis as it's ideal for the wildlife pond area plus all of my fences are of a 8' anti-cat design anyway.:coffee:

        As a newbie gardener I am thrilled to see some splashes of colour in my garden for the first time. :)

        Two of my favourites at the moment are...

        Astilbe Europa

        Astilbe Rheinland

                Could have sworn I'd come across that one - not in my seeds / plants lists, and not in my eBay basket waiting for 23ng23 to come back from holiday :)

                Apart from Lychnis chalcedonica I do have Molten Lava ... but I like your Vesuvius too :)
