If you have been driving around Claremont lately, you may have noticed the colorful front yards of residents throughout the city. Rose bushes in particular not only have bright displays, but many bushes have huge numbers budding flowers. Although most people keep excellent care of their properties, our rainy winter clearly helped bring these roses out in large numbers. This weekend’s weather will only help bring out even more color with high temperatures in the 50s, with heavy rain starting Friday and not ended until later Sunday.
