Gosh Philip you're way ahead of me!! My rose bushes are all in leaf but there's no sign of any buds,let alone flowers,yet. Everything in your garden appears to be about six weeks ahead of mine. My tulips, however, are all coming into bloom and so is my Peony rose so I'm not complaining. :-D
Eileen its amazing the difference in growth we have,..you got a rough cold spell and snow into the bargain while i had no snow at all,..i have lots of roses in bud,..pinks reds and orange touch wood the weather remains stable.
I love touring your garden! It is so different, so lush, so beautiful! Your rose is gorgeous, as are all of your plants.
Thank you Jane,..i try to make it look like a Cottage Garden,..at least the house can be said to be a cottage.
Thank you Kildale,..blooms wise you are far behind us on this side of the pond but you will be seeing them soon enough i hope.
Thanks for the wonderful tour!! I am looking forward to seeing more of your garden this year. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Deanna, a yes you would like the pink colours,..as for the cats,..they had a bad day today,..something in the sky that didn't have feathers and made a lot of noise was hovering over my house.
