'Baltimore Belle' was planted in 2014 at the base of an old Japanese Maple that I noticed was on its way out. Each year, sections of the tree would die, and I'd trim it back to substantial branches to serve as support for the rose. This year, the tree finally died, and will have its last twiggy-bits clipped back. Today -- June 10, 2018 -- 'Baltimore Belle' is truly glorious, despite the light rain, and will serve as the shade-provider for this bed, which was planted with things that appreciated the dappled shade previously provided by the now dead tree. :-)
