It’s been awfully gray here in the DC area recently. Lots of clouds and wind – with very little snow. So in the yard I can see brown grass, brown tree trunks, and hints of where my perennials will be coming up in the garden in the spring. Not a flower in sight.
So just in case your yard looks like mine – I thought a dose of roses to brighten your day were in order. Here are some more of the rose photos I’ve taken recently.

I hope these rose photos have helped brighten your winter day. Just looking at the photos as I put together the blog post certainly brightened up my day.
