I don't know about the Twin Cities, but Madison has gone back and forth between winter, spring, and summer weather and back again in the span of hours! Today, frankly, felt like fall, with gray skies and temps in the high 30s. We frequently have changeable weather, but this past week has been nuts.

Apparently, the roses don't really start blooming reliably in San Diego until March. I'm sure there are plenty of other things blooming in any given month.

I'm organic, too, (and sun-challenged in this garden). So, rose gardening doesn't make sense here. I have a few, but for the most part, I admire roses in other gardens. :)Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-70558420832011125402016-04-03T13:02:28.826-05:002016-04-03T13:02:28.826-05:00Some lovely roses there and what a wonderful time ...Some lovely roses there and what a wonderful time to visit Beth. I visited, also a very brief visit, the Botanical Gardens here in Edinburgh a couple of weeks back and there was very little to see but still a nice day out though.<br />Balboa Park and it's roses looks like a worthy place to visit for those in the vicinity.

I believe I must have been at least 6 years old when I was there, and by your photos, I can see it is as beautiful as back then. THE ROSES!

Yesterday here in Minneapolis, we had high winds, lots of sun but with just a few flurries! But for the entire week of my spring break, it was perfection. Couldn't ask for better weather considering the time of year, and yes, Clara was a super model. Thank you so much for coming to visit!
