White rose, Rosa fillipes "Kiftsgate" growing in England is the largest rose bush in the world.
It current size is 90 feets x 80 feets x 50 feets high, or in metric it is 24m x 27 m x 15m high.
I haven't found info about any other rose growing that large! If you live next to it, just please let me know.

Let me take you today for a trip to Krakow, my urban love - the oldest city in Poland. The history dates back to the 7th century. It used to be the capital of Poland from 11th to 16th century, then the capital was moved to Warsaw, but Krakow inhabitants had never forgiven that ugly move, so there is still kind of "silent war" between Krakow and Warsaw.
These pictures were taken on Tuesday, as I had the chance to have business trip to Krakow and combine duty and pleasure. Met few wonderful people and fed my eyes and soul completely.
Snowing again since Friday.
I took these pictures 10 minutes ago.
Doesn't matter how much we long for Spring - winter weather and winter scenes makes the world look like fairytale.
These winter photos make me think that I would miss snow, if I had to live in hot climate.
If you like to grow indoor plants, pay attention while purchasing, whether they can bloom in winter to keep you holding on until spring. Plants that are blooming in winter doom weeks are precious jewellery in the house. They cheer you up and make you smile whenever you get that feeling of cancelling winter. This is my February blooms collection.
African violet.
Stephanotis, that is also wonderfully scented.
