Moving my nursery

I think you will agree, that this doesn't look like a nursery at all.  I had to move my nursery from one spot to another, and it is still no finished, but I want you to watch this space in the future.  Focus on the mountains at the back and the space.  I can already see thousands of roses with their beautiful flowers waving in the wind.  And the lovely aroma we will experience when the summer comes.
It takes a lot of effort to shift roses in this sensitive stage.  I've covered the roses I've grafted with cold drink bottles to protect them against the cold.  But I made a big mistake. To write the names of the grafted roses on the bottles.  With good reason, because not all of them make it through the cold winters.  And guess what? Some of them fell off during the movement from one nursery to the other.  And now a lot of them actually grew, and I don't know their names.   But there is always hope.  I hope they flower quickly so that I can know which rose is which. 
Luckily the spring is in the air and I know that they will flower within the next three weeks.
There is still a lot of hard work ahead, but I know that within the next month I will be able to show you the roses in full flower.
