0 A Riot of Blooms!

Once a year the Cecile Brunner roses growing on the fence are a riot of blooms.

They looked extra glorious with the sun highlighting them this morning.

I wish they bloomed longer, but alas, they bloom only once. Although a feeble attempt later produces a fraction of the blooms that April enjoys.

I wonder why these roses don't perform like other climbers?

Does anyone know the answer?
