Still roses in bloom!

First entry in the diary of a very amateur gardener (but not without talent I’m told).
I decided to prune my roses this week as the high winds were forecast and I was told that they would sway about and loosen their roots. Yes I know I should have chopped them a bit a while back (I think), however I hate it when I see the experts chopping off something which is still flowering and dumping it onto the compost heap.
Anyway, I cut the stems to 50% and saved the flowers, which now look good in the kitchen. There’s even some scent. Not bad for January!
I guess the flowering of many of my garden plants has continued because the past four months have been some of the mildest on record. My local weather station has some interesting data…..

Only the yellow one had a strong scent (its a climber) - not sure on varieties, I'm not too good on that.
