The first rose of 2018 from my rose bushes appeared later than normal due to the freezing rain, ice, and extreme cold during the winter.

Recovering from a Hard Winter
Taking the advice of my neighbor's gardener, I cut back the rose bushes to the ground to remove the dead parts of each bush.
These pictures taken 5 May 2018 are a few days after I cut the bushes back.
