Yesterday was warm and sunny, a perfect Spring day--so we headed down to the Antique Rose Farm. Every rose on the property was blooming, and it was overwhelming! Color and fragrance were everywhere, and all of the lovely farms in the area stretched as far as the eye could see. We originally headed there to buy four small rose bushes, but once I saw the rose below, all other plans were abandoned.
This incredible four-year-old climbing rose is called "Renae", developed by a Mr. Ralph Moore, famous for his mini roses. I'm hoping that someday he’ll be famous for 'Renae' as well. Renae was a childhood friend of Mr. Moore's daughter, who died of a serious illness. Renae’s memory lives on in this sweet rose.
