Chatham Island Forget-Me-Nots

The cherry rose is a rambler which is growing on a neighbour's front fence. I took a cutting from it on one of my very first country walks down the road. Now it's thriving on my fence.

Alas. They just didn't last. Whatever happened to those promised shiny leaves as big as serving platters? I only got the saucer-sized variety. Wrong spot? More than likely, but I haven't tried again. Pretty blue flowers, though.
