First rose of the season

My sweet hubsand brought this in to me today. The first bloom from our climbing rose bush.





There are several more buds getting ready to burst forth. In the next few days, the vines will be covered. But, there's nothing like the first bloom.



Thanks for stopping by!

  2. I don't think our rose bush even has leaves on it yet. Nice capture!

  3. The red is so bright and pretty. Our red ones have already bloomed and died and now the white ones are in bloom. Spring is pretty much over here. :(

  6. That is a beautiful rose - looks fresh from the florist! You'll have to take a picture of the covered vines.

  7. Gorgeous rose. My dads had a couple blooms this evening, but of course I was there without my camera.

    I'm from Missouri, too. Just a little bit south of St. Louis.
