Roses - finally!

19 years ago

I went out this morning to take my usual run through the yard before I left for work and low and behold - roses opened on my Old Blush climber, Collette Climber, one that will probably be open when I get home on Teasing Georgia and Tess of D'urbeville!!! Life is good!

And I was happy to have buds.
But the first peony is opening today.

Have you noticed any aphids on your roses this year? Mine are peculiarly aphid free. I just remember aphids starting about the same time as the buds. Already, I found some sawfly larvaea starting on the leaves.
My ninebark on the other hand is totally infested with black and green aphids for the first time.
