Roses emerging

All 5 ramblers and three yellow climbers made it through the winter ok. I lost one of the tallest canes from the rose on the bay window to canker as well as a few tips but most looked healthy and were budding up by the end of March. For some reason most of the leaves were still clinging on to the yellow climbers so I stripped them off in March to prevent the new shoots from contracting anything they are harboring. The Nantucket rose on the front west corner and the one in the protected space between the bay window and the stoop were fully leafed out and growing by April 2. The rest were budding.
