Very pretty.
At least you didn't cut back the rose bush also. Some years ago my Dad gave my Mom a rose bush and built a lovely trellis for it. He had other concerns around the house, and several years later he noticed the rose bush was now totally out-of-control, so he cut it back. Unfortunately, he had forgotten that this was a rose vine grafted onto a root from something else, and he cut back below the graft point, thereby ruining the whole thing!
