"Planning for Year-round Interest in a Baltimore Rowhouse Garden" by Christopher Weeks The rose year begins with the robust climber Rosa foetida 'Lawrence Johnston', which must be the most gorgeous and generous yellow rose ever. (Vita Sackvile-West likened the color to "the best Jersey butter".) 'Lawrence Johnston' (a non-repeat bloomer) has now clambered half-way up the carriage house wall and to provide a later yellow interest, I planted a Lonicera periclymenum 'Graham Thomas' about three feet away. The two are now hopelessly and happily entwined up the brick wall; the rose blooms in May and June, the honeysuckle from July to October.
