First blooms

White buds and early blooms opening against the fence, with plenty more stacked behind them.

Season notes
Clean white petals, glossy foliage, and a few small leaf holes visible. Worth keeping an eye on at this stage, since aphids tend to show up early here every summer.

Full fence-line bloom

The bush is carrying the right fence line in full white bloom while the raised beds settle in below it.

Season notes
This wider view shows the rose in context with the vegetable beds, coreopsis, fence vines, and wet mulch after rain.
