Despite the cold weather Sunday morning, I still have roses on my bushes. I will have to evaluate them this weekend and see if it is time to prune.

These rose bushes will be easy to prune.

However, they still have some nice roses that are slowly opening.

My St. Patrick rose bush still has a few blooms. Some are just starting to open.

Others are fully open.

This pink rose is actually on a yellow rose bush. There is one place on the bush that will sometimes put out a pink or red rose.

This rose bush will be the hardest to prune as it is a floribunda and is quite old with a lot of old growth.

I will enjoy my roses for awhile longer and then will have to undergo that period of time each year when I don’t have rose blooms.
