Good news...bad news...

The good news: it's May 24 and the yellow roses are blooming and beautiful. The bad news: the pink roses seem to be kaput. We think maybe the Carefree Delights have crowded them out. And in fact, the wild roses we love so much are actually climbing the arbor, so we didn't even notice for a while that the pink "real" roses were not coming back. (What's ironic is that the yellow rose bush was given to us free from the garden center because they thought it was dead. We paid good money for the pink one. There's surely a life lesson in there somewhere.)
