The Mermaid, part 2

It's official, as my sister in law Terry would say... the murderous Mermaid rosebush is gone. It took two days and two of us to cut it down from the trellis during Thanksgiving week. I am thankful for the Mermaid, because it grew and thrived in a barren place in the back yard and helped to create a new garden room, in sand and shade, but eventually it turned into a Super Dominator. It tore holes and left fragments of thorn in Daisy's ears.
