I can't stand Streisand personally - I can't see how she can be classified as either a singer or an actress (especially with only 1 real movie under her belt.. heck, even Paris Hilton has more movies than that!) - but the rose itself is just gorgeous. LeeAnn Rimes is another rose I'd love to have, but I don't particularly care for the lady herself.

I wanted to get Laura Bush, not because I liked the lady, but because it's a beautiful rusty orange rose. But every time I see it at the nursery, it doesn't look all that good. Nancy Reagan is a beautiful rose & matches Ronald Reagan very nicely.
