Happy New Year
January 3rd, 2011
We would like to wish all our customers a happy, healthy, peaceful and productive New Year.
After the coldest December for 120 years there is a lot to look forward to. It was certainly difficult to get the roses out of the ground when temperatures plummeted to -8 C. Having spent some days out in sub zero temperatures with an easterly wind blowing it is difficult to imagine how anything can survive but roses are amazingly tough. Now we have had a thaw they have come through looking remarkable unscathed.
We had some fantastic sunsets here in Norfolk and the snowy landscape has been beautiful. Always difficult to capture on film. Pictures taken on 9th December at 3.30pm.

Autumn is a wonderful time to enjoy roses for their foliage as it is a time when many species and rugosa roses take on lovely red yellow and crimson tints to their leaves. This extra interest is often overlooked when choosing roses.
