    Hi Norma,  I used your photo of the rose/clematis arbor on the Facebook Almanac tip today, attributing the photo to you.  Thanks!  Lots of people liked it alot. Here's the text: Almanac tip today: Clematis needs training to grow as tall as is its nature. Train the woody vine by tying it loosely with jute twine to roses and other early season flowering shrubs or to trellises, signposts or - the classic - your garden gate. Norma Gladden has some tips for how to make the blooming arch (above).
