Huge climber rose bloom with morning dew

My largest rose bush showing off in the early morning before the dew evaporates. This particular bloom measured a tad over 6.5 inches in diameter. The plant started out as just a cheap 5 dollar pink climber that I purchased at Home Depot. It was about a foot tall when it was planted into my richest organically prepared rose bed two years ago and has grown to a height of about 10 feet.
It has never been trimmed, pruned, or artificially altered in any way, only supported structurally to keep it from drooping to the ground because of the weight of all of the blooms.
