I know we have different weeks set for various events on ATP/NGA, but is there ever a time we don't appreciate roses? I am fascinated by and envious of our California growers and other hobbyists in warmer regions who already have collections of beautiful pictures for 2015. Unfortunately our roses here in the upper Midwest won't be here for another month yet, or later. But, we at least have pictures from previous years. Anyway, here's to roses!
