lo, a rose ere blooming......

ok, so my rose therese bungnet (sp) will bloom today if it receives the slightest flash of sunshine...it has been unfurled for days to show its fuschia petals....but has not yet burst open into double ruffled splendour..........any year with roses blooming in april is a very good year.....and cause to call my brotherinlaw nick to compare notes........alas, early roses also mean that the show may be over by the time the middle child returns home next month.......surely the robin hood roses will still be in bloom........
