Yes, I know that it is way too Early, but I can't convince the rose bush of that! ;) :) :D

It is in a planter box, so I have had it in my wood shop all winter. So I guess my wife and I cheated the season a little bit. At night and when I am not in the shop working we keep the temp at 40 degrees. While I'm in the shop I keep the room at 68 degrees. :)

Nope, it is a Hybrid Jackson & Perkins Rose called Love. :)
