Beautiful, Jeri!

Beautiful roses!I missed my chance for pics as we had our first snow! Almost the earliest recorded.

We had a HARD freeze last night, down to 23F. I picked a couple of roses and stuck them in a tiny vase in the window. But they're sad little things due to the furious wind, rain and 30F we had the day/night before (it was 73F and blustery Saturday...30F by Sunday morning). But still, any tiny bit of the rose garden helps to hold off those Winter doldrums just a bit longer. Thank you Jeri and Sheila for the lovely photos.

I have a few roses today, but we have cold rain coming, so there won't be much for a while. Still, I will be grateful -- ever so grateful, for rain! And the bees are grateful for the roses, too!
