Global warming or just a warm cycle?

The ground is not frozen today on January 5 and the weather feels like early March. This should be the coldest part of the year and we have a range between 30-45 degrees. It will be interesting to see the impact this weather has on the roses. Glossy rose catalogs arrive on a daily basis now to tempt the color starved eye. I know I will purchase too many and expand the collection again in 2007.
