Rose of the Week ...

The Baltimore Belle

Named after a best seller- Hannah Hawkins or the Reformed Drunkard's Daughter, this rose was bred by Samuel Feast, a friend to abstinence during the 1800's. Planted as an expression of devotion to the abstinence practice during a time where the Washingtonian Total Abstinence Society was the most powerful temperance organization in the U.S. 
This pale-to- pink fluffy rose is definitely a BEAUT!
