They are growing but it's all roots at this point. I know what you mean.
Yesterday and today have been nice, sunny, warm, with a light breeze. I did some trimming of old stalks and started trying to make something somewhat orderly of the row of wild roses next to the fence. I never got them trimmed at all last year. Of course that job goes very slowly because they have lots and lots of thorns and I would prefer not to be ripped to shreds and fertilize the flower bed with my blood.
