Bethany's Rose

The rosebush that was a gift from a friend to the Mother on Valentine's Day this year... we went to Opryland Hotel and stayed in the Cascades right beside the waterfall---slept with our veranda door open every night to the sweet music of rushing water and Nashville's most awesome place to stay. She was like a kid on Christmas morning, and said she had never seen anything so spectacular. This is the first bloom, late summer. My mom is in love with this plant, and has babied it since she got it. I am in love with it for the memories it evokes.
