WooHoo! Our Laura got the very first 'First Lady' rose! The coloration sounds beautiful. I hope it has a nice fragrance, too. When we get moved to MS, I'd like to start a rose garden, and the Laura Bush rose will be the first one I plant! Hmmm. My b-i-l, the priest, has a lovely rose garden; I might buy one for him, so he can get it planted for next Spring!
