I'm excited for you! It truly is an wonderful time of year seeing all the new roses perform. Your roses are lovely! I especially love your Fragrant Plum. I had to prune mine nearly to the ground this year, and can only hope she comes back better than ever. Fragrant "Mauve Roses" are high on my list of favourites.

Yep, I'm in zone 5, and the daffodils I planted in the fall are starting to poke through, as well as some tulips from the year before. Even some of the perennials are showing a tiny bit of green at the crown. The snow is almost gone in my yard, and I am ready to start digging! Happy almost spring! Bonnie

Is Spring FINALLY here?

Beginning of April I figured winter was over so I pulled out all of my driveway snow removal guides and put them away. A heavy snow soon followed and I did not have those helpful guides. Two weeks or so after that I took down the snow fence. We then had a mid-April blizzard. I figured that had to be it for winter snowfall so last week I prepped the snowblower for summer storage, put it away, and pulled out the summer machines. We then got three inches of snow. That was the last straw. My snow shovels and snow broom are staying in their places on the porch, by the front door of the house, and by the garage until, oh I don't know, late June or so until I finally put them away. Heavy winter clothing and snow boots will not be put in storage yet either. I fear if I put any of this stuff away I will get snow. I am not a superstitious person but I am also not a fool - I have had it with winter this year and I am not taking any chances. ;) Happy Gardening, -Tom

Oh Edgar Degas, I love it. I'm sure I will be looking up Dorothy Wilson soon, it's beautiful Beth. I'm excited for you. I think my first will be Mdme. de Sevigne, she has big fat buds. I welcome any bloom.
It's almost like popcorn when they start isn't it. They all start opening.

Patricia, yes I do have MME DRIOUT. Just got her last yr and haven't had any blooms yet. Can't wait tho.

Iris gal, I have my SOMBREUIL growing along a corner fence area. So far, I'd say the plant has reached about 10ft at the most.

Thanks Beth. 10-12' is perfect for my garden. In our long growing season things don't always do what the books say.

Hope to see more of your new salmon Dorothy Wilson. Pretty shade.
