Found Rose

 

Found Rose or Namesless Treasure?

'Found Rose' is a category for nameless roses found by the wayside, in old cemeteries, and abandonded gardens. This gorgeous Hybrid Perpetual was found by both Barbara Worl and Fred Boutin at sites in California. The rose also goes by the names "Grandmother's Hat" and "Barbara Worl."

She makes a fine statement amongst all that varied plant material.

Here's a post I did about dear Barbara Worl, if you'd like to meet one of this rose's namesakes.

Do not say, 'It is morning,' and dismiss it with a name of yesterday. See it for the first time as a newborn child that has no name.
