Roses

Did a little bit of gardening today, mostly moving the hose from one spot to another and doing the occasional casual trim of an out-of-control branch.

And I did some smiling--there are not very many roses just yet, but there are lots of rose buds. By next week, or the week after, we should have quite a display out front.

Most of the new rose bushes are still putting down roots and discovering that they are bushes, but the established ones are all budding, even the miniature roses in the yard.
