Here they will need at least another 2 weeks - though who knows this year when roses flower in the first week of April!!!

I have a rose I grew from seeds a brother of mine got from China some years ago. I call it Chinese rose as I don't know what it is called. But every year, in April, it flowers beautifully! :)I just wish it flowered for longer than the 2 or 3 weeks it generally lasts.

As you can see from the photos it's a lovely buttery yellow. It sometimes reminds me of fried eggs as well!
