Well, as I type this, it's snowing. We got only a dusting for now, and we're in an eye of a storm, but looks to be another wave coming through. We're not going to get any real accumulation from this, and I'm not complaining as it's free moisture, but I had a lot of beautiful buds ready to open and they're now all toast. I took pictures last night of my unfulfilled promises.
Apricot mini, NoID
Blue Bayou
Circus
Distant Drums
Hawkeye Belle (I love this rose)
Koko Loko
Kordes Perfecta (this one didn't blossom much this year, and then I get 1 perfect bud...)
Lagerfeld (this poor rose has been moved like 4 times in 3 years...)
Macho Man (from Cliff back in August.. and it's trying to bloom poor thing)
Magenta (pretty rose from Palatine)
Mister Lincoln (again, another rose that didn't bloom at all year and NOW it puts out a bud.. go figure)
Mardi Gras (this will keep blooming until an extremely hard frost)
Oranges & Lemons (only got a fall flush, no spring flush)

And a couple of roses that had opened

And Cha-ching! This one had done something really weird as far as a spent rose... any clue?
