Bridal wreath spiraea is not a rose, although it belongs to that
family. It has white clusters in May-June. You have the name mixed up.
I am in Zone 5, Central NY. The weather is unusual. We have not has
killing frost yet. I was able to cut a couple of roses and two stems
of Iris 'Immortality' today for the dinner table. Unheard of!

No roses blooming but I have an Indian Crab Apple tree that just burst out

Got a few blooming here in zone 7, and I have one rose that has it's
first bloom of the year, and it's a beaut. If you have an everbearing
rose, my observation is that they kick in after a wet spell, which we've
had.
