We have our first rose of the season (actually several blossoms) on the Rouletti. It’s a miniature rose we picked up at the Antique Rose Emporium on one of our annual road trips to South Texas. When I say miniature I just mean the flower. Although the literature suggests that it is good in containers, ours are quite ample in size.

It really felt like Spring today. It was pleasant to be outside even if it was a bit damp. Lots of daffodils and tulips in neighborhood yards and some of those early blooming white irises, or flags as my grandmother called them.
