danny!! i need some advice -- i don't know what to do with my roses. they're still nursing the same buds from last fall, which haven't developed into flowers.... they're all the size of my fingertips. i had one bloom in november?december? that was quite wee and not at all full-blown grandiflora (which was sort of to be expected). but.... now that scent of spring is in the air, i don't know whether i should leave the buds to see what they do, or cut them off to make way for some "prime" first-flush buds. what do you think?
