The Great Awakening

This post isn't about the Great Awakening of the history books (or see Wikipedia), but rather the rose bushes around here awakening from their winter rest, which is always a big deal for me.  Foliage is starting to spread out, and I even saw the first flower bud two days ago.  There it is below in the first photo, bathed in the rain water typical this time of year.  The bud is on one of my unnamed German rose seedlings along the front driveway.  Most of my rose seedlings are in the back yard, and they are springing to life as shown in the photo to the right.
