Another sign of global warming ?

Back in 2012, I documented some benchmark events, such as when the first rose bloom opened; I refer you to my post of May 14, 2012 ("First open bloom of the year !").  Well, here we are exactly three years later and there is quite a difference in the timing of bloom production.  We've had some spells of warmer than normal weather from January through May, and I can't help but think that global warming may be playing a big role.  Dozens of my rose bushes have already opened their first blooms, and the rose garden is full of color today, May 14th.
