One a day, plus iron

Once upon a time, long ago, I bought a rosebush: Ispahan. The internet said that this was a rose that would get quite large. I am not sure why I thought that meant it would fit in a 4'x4' space. Anyway, the BASE of it fits in a 4x4 space... but it grows long whippy canes (like 15 feet long) that arch and snag people mowing the grass a LEGIT DECENT DISTANCE AWAY.

Ispahan is a great rosebush. Healthy, smells great, blooms for like a whole month, does not need any special attention over the winter, etc. It's just... huge and honestly huger than it should be for its location in my yard.
