When there isn't much winter kill of canes, first flush is pretty spectacular here and if the health of the canes right now is any indication, it's going to be a colorful season! The fairy tale series from Palatine look great.
Golden Fairy tale (the tallest canes are 5-6' tall), Lion's Fairy tale, and Cinderella FT
I'm particularly impressed with hybrid tea Beverly- I only see 1 cane that has suffered and it is one that grew in late fall and didn't have time to harden before cold weather came. The McCartney Rose typically dies back to the ground no matter how mild the winter is, but it looks surprisingly healthy so far.

The only one I see much damage on is Sunsprite- it will need to be cut back pretty hard...
