It been a blooming week in the rose garden. Most of our floribundas are now in bloom, as are many of our hybrid teas. This is about two weeks earlier that we like to see them bloom. Most of you know that I like to have some blooms to exhibit at the Birmingham Rose Show which is coming up Mother’s day weekend. I shot this brief video late yesterday afternoon and I hope you enjoy the roses!
