Seems like right now my rose bushes are teasing me, trying to whet my appetite for more to come. Several of my newly planted roses are getting ready to bloom, but none have actually bloomed yet. A few that didn't bloom at all or very little during the first flush have put on lots of buds and are getting ready to bloom. The roses here are a sampling of my sparse, between cycle blooms. I'm not complaining, would rather have these than none at all!

The Belinda's Dream that has this bloom put on a good early May show, my other one didn't bloom then, because of freeze damage to the foliage and is getting ready to bloom.

DOUBLE DELIGHT - It's obvious we haven't had much sunlight recently, from all the white in this bloom.
