A Heritage Rose in my foyer garden






Here is my foyer garden this morning. The pink rose is "Caldwell Pink". I bought it from the Antique Rose Emporium in 1993. They say they collected it at an old Texas homestead. It is hardy,disease-free, and ever blooming. It can be dug up and divided like a perennial in early spring. I have room for only one rose, though I thought about buying a pink "Knock Out". But why bother since those roses are so ubiquitous that I see them in everyone else's garden?
