Sooooo exciting!! Even at the beginning stages that bud looks gorgeous!! I found a pink bud on my climber Jeanne LaJoie. I can't wait for them to explode.

Yes, it is a very exciting time. Looking forward to seeing all your beauties again!

Whoop whoop!!! I keep looking but not a single bud yet :( can't be much longer though!

Thanks Sara. I'm looking forward to seeing all of your beauties as well. It seems like my first few buds are always deformed looking. Yours looks to be nice and healthy looking.

Lilyfinch yours will be showing color soon. The dang hail we had a few weeks ago really damaged tons of my roses. I'm thinking after the spring flush I'm prob going to cut some super short.
