Sad roses, but springs forth!

The rose bushes have been buried under drifts all winter. I've been worried about them as the few canes that were visible stuck out at odd angles. The snow is starting to recede after a week of above freezing temperatures and five days of rain and those worries were justified. Almost every cane in bent or broken. When the ground drains a bit, I will have to do some major trimming. I hope they can bounce back.
The tea roses have suffered the most!


Even the more robust floribunda roses (I think that's what they are...) are suffering!

I didn't even see these little green shoots until after photographing the nearby roses. Daffodils are in the background with surprise lilies (AKA magic lilies or naked ladies) in the foreground.
Spring will come!
