It is snowing in my backyard

I'm am not skilled at growing roses.  I have four rose bushes that I purchased in moments of weakness because they are SO pretty, but they generally have to make it on their own in my garden.

Apparently, the cold and wet winter made my Sir Thomas Lipton rose very happy because this spring it is absolutely covered in huge, fragrant blooms.  I wish I could convey scent to you because these roses have a spicy fragrance that reminds me of cinnamon.
Last night we had a significant thunderstorm that blasted the petals from the blooms.  It looks like snow.  The good news is that this rose bush will bloom all summer long.
