As I emerge from the cocoon of my sick bed, I notice the roses blooming in all the gardens. I could see them blooming through my windows as I lay sick. I even crept out from under my covers once to take some photos. They are a joy this time of year. They will be pruned soon to make the plants strong for their splendiforous bloom in spring. So now to enjoy them.
