Your arbor held up better to the giant rose bush than mine did! Mine tumbled down from the weight of the prolific climber.

Nice chair covers!

Good job. You can use those with pride and a big smile on your face.

Nice chair covers!

During the wind storms we had a couple weeks ago, I think the only reason we still have the arbor was because the rose bushes held it upright. and Thanks.

Really nice!

I'm thinking your rosebush has outgrown the arbor? LOL! You must be feeding it Miracle Gro!

Nic job on the slipcover!

Great job on the covers....and a Big Wow on the roses, can almost smell them from here. :)

Beautiful covers. Course I a partial to the blue/yellow/white one. very pretty.

OMgoodness! What's the name of the rose, how old is it, and what the heck are you feeding it? How do you keep the bugs from eating it? Just beautiful.

You must amend your soil and prune well. Of course you are now going to tell us you don't do anything and just let it go it's way. :roll:

Very nice chair covers. Really perked them up. Nice job!

I just finished covering my patio chairs too--with exactly the same fabric! Yours turned out looking just beautiful! It's really fun to look out on the deck now, and see beautiful chairs instead of old, faded ones... :-D

Both the covers and the roses are beautiful. I bet the aroma from the roses makes for a nice spot to sit and enjoy the outside.

I really don't do anything to them...too thorny....I can't remember the name of the rose, but it is a shrub rose, and about 6 years old. The bugs don't bother this one...just my other ones...lol. In the fall, I mulch my leaves an put them in the garden because I have lots of perenniels. In the spring I work most of the leaves into the soil....that's all...no Miracle Gro. I would hate to see it if I did...LOL
