I will go with the PM arrivals. In New Orleans I see them every year the second week of February. Winter isn't really over but the blossoms are starting to come out and azaleas are beginning to bloom when they get here. I won't have roses for a while but I just pruned them in late January. I will have eggs in May and the babies will fledge in June and be gone by July 4th.
