Hi
My roses have started to bloom and they seem to be a bit early this year, not that I'm complaining.

This one is Hazeldean, hardy to zone 2, very thorny, it is what I call my attack rose and only blooms once a year. It is always the first one in my garden to bloom

Morden Blush and Morden Centennial also started blooming today too.

Gorgeous! I have to get some of those hardy to zone 2!

So what do you have to do to keep them overwinter Debbie?

Jane, absolutely nothing!

I cut them down a bit in the spring and just fertilize them during the summer.

Cool, that's my kind of rose! Carefree!

Very pretty Debbie! Hazeldean is a beautiful yellow. How nice that so many of your flowers are blooming early for you this year.

Here are some more pics of my Morden Centennial now hat it has more blooms on it.

I have noticed that the leaves on some of my bushes are getting papery again like they did last year. Even though I dumped worm castings around them this spring I guess they need a shot of fertilizer, which I haven't done yet. I hope that will fix them up.
