Queen Elizabeth

This is definitely one of the coldest springs I can ever remember. That cold keeps hanging on. I grew up with the elders saying there is always one last cold snap before Easter. I think it is often true, and most definitely this year.

My roses garden is planted and growing, but all are newly planted this year except one. What should be the season for roses galore, are just little bushes that I am nurturing and checking on twice a day. 

The Queen Elizabeth is beginning to bloom. She did survive the dogs, and she couldn't be lovelier.

And to my great delight, one of the new plants has a bloom. 

Meet "Oklahoma".

Stay tuned...
