the first rose...

...of the season

is red!

for some reason... while all the bushes have buds looking like this:


obviously, getting there... but not quite ready to open yet...

on the front bush i saw a flash of red... looked - did a double take - and sure enough...



a beautiful blossom - wide open - full and glorious... having survived a recent heavy, wet snow fall too... standing alone amidst the branches and buds.  why it's opened when all the other buds are yet to blossom - is a mystery to me.  sometimes i guess there are simply those that can't wait... nature is like that - providing small surprises - little packages of joy... special treats...

happy day.....
