Memere's Rose

Home

This rose family has been in our family since the late 1800's when my grandmother grew it in her garden. Through the years we made cuttings and tried to keep the progeny with us.

That is so wonderful that you've been able to keep such a wonderful treasure. So many of them get lost over the years.
