First roses of the Season at our house in Santa Barbara

 It is wonderful to see the first roses come out signaling the beginning of Spring here in Santa Barbara. Spring is trying to happen all the way from San Francisco to San Diego right now by the way. There are some orange flowers that won't grow as far north as San Francisco on the coast that I noticed were also blooming in the front yard as well. But, the wilder roses have already started to bloom. My wife's mother planted many rose bushes here so within a few weeks there will now be roses everywhere here while she was alive and they are still blooming every spring and summer now ongoing.
