A month ago, I wrote about Abbey’s Rose. It was the last rose blooming in my garden and one to which I have a sentimental attachment. Since it is potted, and I have never successfully overwintered a potted rose outdoors, I decided to try to bring it inside this year. It is covered with new growth, a good sign for the new year for this little rose.
A few of my orchids have also recently sent out new shoots, a good sign that there will be blooms to follow. I look forward to posting more pictures of them once they start to flower.
I hope that your new year is off to a positive start! Best wishes for 2016!

It looks like you have a fantastic start to the new year. The climate here is fairly mild so we are seeing leaves on the garden roses already.
Very promising.
