I love the idea of seeing and smelling a rose that has passed thru so many generations...my imagination goes amok wondering how many other family eyes and noses have enjoyed the same sight and smell. :) Nice to be part of that chain. A wonderful and beautiful capture, Ms. J, of a very special rose! #9445307
