Even though it is March, we have had a LOT of rain, and then a LOT of sun (80 degrees for 2 weeks), and the roses have decided to start blooming. This is a bloom on a bush I rooted from an ancient one in our garden - we think it was planted in the 1950s. It is now a climber, but may have sported from a bush form, as the original was in deep shade when it finally started to give up, and I took a cutting.
