January 13, 1995

In looking through some papers I had filed, I noticed a pamphlet with pictures of some roses that I had ordered from Jackson & Perkins in time for spring. At the time, I did not think twice about the roses I had ordered, but had merely selected them by color. It had turned out that I had ordered for spring a rose bush called the "Rose of the Year" for 1995.


Our first spring bloom of the "Rose of the Year" for 1995 - Heaven

The name of the rosebush: Heaven.
It’s color: White with pink-colored edges.
