Nozomi - a rose with a sad story Part I

She's calling out for spring but watch out those grabbers.

There is a story behind every rose. Nozomi was a toddler when she died on a train journey on her way to her uncle after both her parents died during the war. Her uncle, Dr. Onodera was then an amateur rose hybridizer, created this rose in honour of his niece.

I will update the story of Nozomi when she bloom in mid spring,.....in about 6 weeks :((
