| It's always so exciting to see which rose will start the parade each year, but I can't believe the parade has already started. This is about 6 weeks early! But there she was yesterday--the first bloom of the season.
Home Run
I noticed that Austin's Shakespeare 2000 has a really big fat bud on it with dark red showing, so I'm hoping it will be the second rose to bloom this year. As long as we are in a springy mood, here's a more conventional spring picture--tulips and iris and some left-over remnants of daffodils. Anyone want to help with spring cleaning up? : )
Looking forward to seeing some of your first rose blooms of the season also. Kate |

| Very pretty! I love this time of year in the garden. |

| I've still got about a month to go. About half the roses have buds on them, but they are small. I should have pruned a little earlier than what I did, but oh well. They all seem to be doing really well so far though. Should be a much better spring than the rainy one last spring. |
