Happy New Year! The thumbnail photo for this month is New Year.
This is a busy time for some of us, who will spend this month pruning, and a time of respite for others, who can snuggle inside and wait for warmer weather before venturing out into their gardens. I had hoped to be snuggling with the cats inside by now, but a lingering backache benched me for two weeks in December, so I'm rushing to finish my pruning now.
New bare-root roses will start arriving soon. My first shipment from Rosemania is due next week.
