We are having a totally late spring. The roses are showing leaf buds now but aren't even leafed out yet. I can't ever remember that happening this late in the year. Makes me think the spring bloom will be really late this year as I don't see how they can catch up to bloom in earliest June as usual.
Anyway, I had to cut them back and cut out so much winter damage I figgured the Rose Tone would help provide a healthy start for spring.
As to late spring again, my daffs just recently started. My February Gold started two days ago and as the name implies they often bloom at the end of February. Not this year!
