Just checking in to report I planted my 2 Omoshiro's today with my other one that I bought a year ago. When I took both out of their pots I am pleased to report they were full of roots. Both have been on my deck potted in one gallon pots all spring. One of my three did not survive. It died a few weeks after potting. Not sure why but it was the smallest root stock sent. I have all three on a wire trellis attached on the back of the house. All of my wire trellis's attached to the house originally had climbing roses on them. Saw this on the Arizona rose society website and loved the look. However I failed to realize that the house pictured was a two store house not a one story like mine. All the roses grew like crazy and grew right up to the top of the eves of the house and than had no where to grow because of the roof overhang. Needless to say I've spent all fall digging them up and replanting them on my wooden fence. Oh well now I'll have a wall of clematis instead of clematis and roses together. I am keeping one climber on the failed wall trellis's. Yellow Blaze doesn't seem to grow quite as tall as the others. Posting a picture so you can see what I'm referring too.
