Vancouver has had snow, wind and rain storms, 14 of them total since November. My rose bushes are now covered in snow&nbsp;that will hopefully be melting with next weeks worm up. Thank goodness we had pruned in October, for if not the wind storms might have uprooted them. We are looking forward to February and will start our yearly re-arrangement of our garden when the ground thaws, that is if it doesn't start raining. This is what our&nbsp;roses look&nbsp;like now.</P> <P>&nbsp;<IMG title="Rambling Rose Franswa Granville" style="WIDTH:300px;HEIGHT:389px;" height=389 alt="iceacles hanging off rambling rose Franswa Granville" src="http://www.rosemagazine.com/community/myphotos/ice_roses.jpg" width=300 align=middle></P> <P>Iceacles hanging off rambling rose Franswa Granville.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><IMG title="snow and roses" style="WIDTH:400px;HEIGHT:246px;" height=246 alt="snow and roses" src="http://www.rosemagazine.com/community/myphotos/snow_roses.jpg" width=400></P> <P>The snow was covering my rose bushes.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Well until February.
