Oh yea, we’ve had snow.  Several days of it.  But before that sneaky sucker punch of winter hit us, I went out to prune the rosebushes.  What was left behind were the glorious, red tinged tips of new growth.

The green is offset by the frosted green of the vase which in turn helps highlight the lovely red in the newly budding canes.  While this is not a material you might use regularly, it is after all very thorny, sometimes its useful to highlight the beauty in what might be considered trash.

The roses were all trimmed to knee height. And then came the snow!
