no rose today.......

ok, so it is the last day of april, and traditionally i have had at least 1 rose in bloom.....maybe just one bloom, but a bloom nevertheless........i have been watching two prospects.........therese bugnet (the one in the back) and stanwell perpetual..........but this morning it was cold and rainy, and not the sort of day on which a rosebud bursts forth..........ah well.....there is always next year...........
