Trivia? Name the rose that would be a politically incorrect specimen to pair with JFK? Is that the game? I may be off base?

I'm still trying to figure out this trivia question. Is there really a rose named after the politically incorrect specimen of JFK?

I posted a pic of the "politically incorrect" - culprit.

I used to grow that rose and it was a *star* here. It grew big gorgeous blooms that had a color that some call 'moonlight' but I would call blond. The pic Aguane posted, if it's the rose I'm thinking of, is a little too pink, this rose has more of a flesh tone.

I think you're right, Judy.
I didn't mean to imply (by my challenging question) that "I" was planting the Politically Incorrect Rose Garden. I was just posing the trivia question with that as an example.... hoping someone would guess the name of the rose I was thinking of.... perhaps by the picture. It is a little too pink though, you're right. Shall I tell? Then move on to another question??

It was a pretty good question once I understood what you were getting at. I will say that she truly is a lovely rose and does really well here, which can't be said of all. When I was down-sizing my rose garden I didn't keep her for one reason, she has just about the prickliest, thorniest stems I've come across.

Maybe you should spill the beans and go for another question.

We'll pass on the politics for the moment. She's was a pretty rose.

So,
You've heard of the quote:
"Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose".
Who wrote that and name the title of the poem.

Gertrude Stein in Sacred Emily. And the politically incorrect rose would be Marilyn Monroe.

Yes!
Pass The Brownies, Ms. Toklas. You're up, Alma.
New rose trivia question for us hungry to learn?!

Oh, gracious me; I have no idea about roses and just spent the last hour reading to come up with some trivia. I stopped reading when I started laughing. So here's my trivia question:

Who is famously quoted as saying, “I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a bed, but fine up against a wall.”

Eleanor Roosevelt... and I hate myself for knowing this... I ran across the same quote in my search.
I'll think up a new question.

Under whose US Presidency was the White House Rose Garden established?

JFK. Seems like we read the same things.

Is it true that no rose has been named for Jackie Kennedy? I find that hard to believe.

I read that FIRST LADY was named for her. Strange. I wonder if it ultimately has anything to do with timing, events and the fact that she became Onassis and actually used that last name even in as publisher and until she passed away.

Ok, so Susie, are you suppose to be coming up with the next Rose Trivia question? I'm getting a little confused with all the non-Trivia questions that keep getting asked

No! It's Alma's turn isn't it? Alma!!!

Hey, I'm here! Alan, are we out in left field with those questions? Seriously, I had to go hunting for something to ask. I like your questions and answers 'cause I learn something. Something useful, that is...

Should I ask another question?

Yes, it's your turn :)

Alan

Yep, I've been waiting, Alma!
Wondering if I should just pipe in with another trivial non-trivia trivia question.
