Right on schedule

The rosebush in our back yard has been there forever, at least since we bought our house in 1987.

I’m finally getting to the end of our spring flowers, with only the peony (if the buds actually open this year) and daylilies left. The display has been surprising, especially since we didn’t plant any new bulbs last fall.

Already, on April 28? We are still wearing thin down jackets.......I though I won't see roses until at least the end of May. Thanks a lot for posting this photo. ~VVVVV~

A beautiful photo of this rose. I'm so jealous that you're seeing them as we're still at the daffodil stage.
