It's a very strange year here in California

 We have had yellow rose bushes and White Rose bushes since before we first moved in here around 1999. But, what is strange this year is we are still getting buds and blooms here on December 2nd 2020. It's true we also have rose hips from our summer roses but still I think it's strange to have over 10 buds and blooms of Yellow roses and almost the same number of white buds and blooms still going on December 2nd 2020.

The plants seem to know something we don't. But, it's also true we are in a La Nina and don't expect much rain until January at this point. Where I live we have had less than 1/4 inch of rain since last rain season last spring and maybe only an 1/8 of an inch of rain. However, it is true we tend to get the biggest storms in January through April or lately May too. But, at this point I don't see how they can make up for basically no rain since Last Spring this season.

I live near the Greater San Francisco Bay area in California within 1 mile of the ocean here.
