This rose has come a long way. (and not just in its looks) We got it from Sean's great great Aunt Olga who lives in Cisco. You see, it was part of a beautiful rose bush that's been in her yard for a long, long time. Her grandparents came to Texas from Alabama (the same county that my family's from!) many, many years ago and brought this darling little plant with them. When Grandmommy brought it to us, it was just a bunch of thorny green branches. We did (and are doing) our best to keep it growing, and now it seems like it's warmed up and showing us its little personality!
I love feeling like I'm still connected to something from a hundred years ago! (and from the great state of my birth, Alabama)

Love that sweet story, you southern girl. And love the bluebonnet pic! We just took those this weekend....
Wowsers...you know I can't get over Miss Bluebonnet and Mr. Sun! Eat em up! Darn it, they're cute. Especially miss thang crossing her legs. Love the rose story (beautiful color) and I like anyone from Cisco...gotta love those tiny TX towns. Ranger is my fave...just next door to Cisco. Ranger is stompin grounds for the Watkins roots.

I love this! You know, I have 32 different antique rose varieties in my yard. I'm a little obsessed. I would love to be a rose rustler some day and work at the Antique Rose Emporium in Brenham.
What a great story!
