Spring and Roses Are Coming!
Spring and roses are coming, as this current warm spell reminds us. Although it is tempting to prune roses now, it is far too early. However, this is a great time to do some clean-up in the garden. The last cooler spell, along with the wind, removed most of the remaining leaves on my rose bushes. I can see crossing canes better now, and ones that need to be removed. I did a lot of that yesterday, but not pruning.
While waiting for this year’s roses, as well as other flowers and plants, I’m going to share some from prior years. I’m ready for spring:
I had multiple winners in the 2014 Fall National, but I’ll show two here, Queen and King.
For those of you planning to enter photographs in ARS sanctioned rose shows with the requirement for images matted and mounted to 11×14 specifications, I have prepared a short “how to do it inexpensively and quickly” in Kindle format, which can be read on any device with the free Kindle app. It costs $0.99, the lowest price Amazon would allow me to offer it.
I’m looking forward to Spring and Roses!
