Is it Finaly Spring?

My optimism at the beginning of January was slightly premature. Spring was not there yet. A nice weekend mid February quickly turned into freezing weather which lasted until today.
I finally managed to get out into the garden and finish pruning the roses.
Plants on the other hand seem unperturbed by the freezing weather, and all signs of spring are out there. The Hellebores, the snow drops (Galanthus nivalis, I am not much of a galanthophil, and can't really tell the difference while standing)  and the Witch Hazels (Hammamelis).

 
Helleborus 'Anna's Red'

I hope the nice weather will last long enough so I can complete tidying up the garden, the brown bin has just been emptied, and I still didn't prune the tips of the Wisteria.
