Throughout history, the roses have fascinated the mankind. Why? I do not know why ... Maybe you can tell me. But, I know that over the time many varieties have been developed. Some were very famous in their time. Some were devoted to important people, some were named even with name of queens. But ... many were forgot and lost.
In some place some rose lovers try to rediscover the survivors, The Rose Time Travelers.
Many old rose, survived in old cemetery, or alongside of old ruin house, or alongside of Pioneers routes. But their names are lost.
Sometimes a lost rose is found, and some rose lovers try to protect these in some special places.
Where? One of this place is a famous cemetery. The Cemetery Rose from Sacramento, California.

But how did it survive with 20 feet of salt water over it? I don't know. Do you know?
All I can tell you that it is amazing.
Isn't it?

Well I love the stories of The Roses. If you know some story, tell them here.

Or just a picture of a rose found in forgotten place. In fact what it is a photo, if not else than a whole story?
