We knew it would get cold again
One degree. Five degrees. Wild weather swings. All perfectly normal and expected for this time of year, I guess. Last night my friends at the Twin Cities Rose Club gathered for our monthly meeting to hear Kim, one of our members who is a chemistry teacher at Centruy College, talk about the Chemistry of Roses. I am not a science person, but I enjoyed learning the basics and seeing the beautiful roses that were alternated with important facts about chemistry. This time of year here, it is fun just to get together with other rose growers, enjoy the photos from last summer's gardens and dream about the next season. What else can a rose gardener do when the weather is five degrees?

Rose cane killing cold. Nasty bone chilling cold. I don't think it has been this cold in 10 years. The ground was not frozen very deep wehn this cold arrived. Highs in the below zero range, plus wind! It's enough to make a person want to move to the south!
