Spring Flowers & Olympiad Rose

OLYMPIAD   ROSE
The violets are blooming...Primroses are starting..Other plants are starting to show leaf buds..  So I start thinking about spring and lawnmowing again.  Yesterday and this morning we had snow...just enough to whiten the grass here...Other places not too far from here had 6 to 8 inches.   I looked through some of my rose pictures and decided to  share.. I guess you might say I am rose hungry about this time of year...This  is the rose Olympiad...At dusk  it looks almost fluorescent..one of the prettiest red roses , I think..  ..If you are looking for a red rose bush for your garden,  look for Olympiad.....Enjoy
