Finally, it's May, my favorite month of the year. Lower utility bills because there's no need to turn on the lights until 9:00 pm and no need to turn on the furnace at all. Great weather, lots of color in everyone's garden, and lots of people to see now that no one's hibernating.
May is usually the month my garden comes alive, but we had so much wonderful rain this year that some of my rose bushes bloomed like crazy in April and already need deadheading.
May is Better Sleep Month, so the thumbnail rose this month is 'Sweet Dream,' an enchanting Fryer floribunda.
