Clocks go forward on Sunday, March 11.
The weather calls for temperatures in the 40s and high 50s next week.
It's so tempting to get out in the garden and at least do some clean-up but I keep reminding myself that is is only March and no real planting should be attempted until the end of April.
But I couldn't resist at least purchasing a rose or 2.
I ordered 2 beautiful roses for a trellis I plan on building.
The first one is called 'Aimee Vibert', a white climber, repeat bloomer that will grow 15' -20'.
The second is an unusual rose called 'The Magician.' I discovered it on Heirloom Roses website who have a great selection and good advice for rose growers. Below is an image from the site; the only one I could find on the internet.
Looking forward to a combination of both on a trellis. I have some trees on either side of where I want to build the trellis that can be some added support for both roses. This will make a cool entrance to the fairy garden that I'll work on this summer.
'Cmon Spring!
The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month. ~Henry Van Dyke
