Rose bush below

Hang in there, little beauty. February has been a rugged month for our front-yard corner rose bush. There hasn’t been a lot of places to deposit the daily snow deposit to our walkway to the front door and driveway. The tippy-top of the rose bush is still sticking out. I promise that’s it.

Cheering on the corner roses

Championship cluster. Even in a start-the-summer stretch that saw temperatures raising into the mid-90s, our front corner knockout roses stayed strong and red.

Keep popping, roses

Our roses say autumn is just fine for blooming. Up front and out back. The seasons, plural, suit us fine.

A summer wallop for the knockout roses

I’m happy when the big corner rose bush up front takes its turn making our yard look spiffy. It’s a tough year for roses, we were told by the local experts when we visited this spring’s fair at the Liverpool Public Library. Tomorrow, you get to see our backyard roses.

Waiting on the big rose bush

It’s time to start watching and actively rooting for the April front-yard rose transformation.

Front rose wants to turn, too

Walking the property during a holiday break from work, I noticed the big front yard rose trying mightily to defy the winter calender and the snow on the lawn. It may go green yet. Hey, this is Central New York, if you get my drift.

Hello, front yard roses

When we pulled into our driveway from our 10-day Cape Cod Getaway 2021, we were greeted by the first blooms of the front yard corner knockout rose bush. That was a fantastic first smile at A Bitty Better.
