I filed this pic under 'last week of Oct 2006', but I should have called it 'why I love roses'. granted, they are growing right next to the nice warm foundation of the house, but they are also exposed to the cold west wind, and they weathered the worst October storm ever! the blooms on the last scapes of the Stella d'Oro look like daffodils.

I think I should start a pool on when this clematis bud will open, because I actually think it's going to make it. there was a little color showing yesterday when I took this pic. we actually had a little sun yesterday.

I wasn't going to bring in any more of the roses, but this yellow one was on a stem about 18" long and smelled so good when I walked by it yesterday, it is sitting in a prominent spot inside today.
