Early Roses in the Garden

It is a very long time since I've been as engaged with the garden as this year, and as each phase of blossom has come and gone, it continues to be a joy when the next phase shows itself.   Just a few roses are showing now, and at this stage they are from the more established plants in the garden.  Over the winter months I bought several new roses and am beginning to anticipate their displays.   The first three photographs are of Rosa Cantabridgienis Hugonis - and a spectacular display of this rose used to be in the churchyard of St Edward's Church in the centre of Cambridge.   Will check when I can!   The other rose is a florabunda called Keith Markham and new to this garden.   Do single flowers bloom first, I wonder.
