Yes, we've had beautiful green leaves for two weeks now. A few buds on the less-delicate plants are creaking open...just enough to announce what color the flower's going to be. It's exciting. I used to have a place in Montgomery (NY) and the roses in my city garden always came out well before those in the frozen north !
