Tree Rose in Winter

[click image to enlarge]


This Tree Rose plant was planted by Abigail Adams in 1788 and has survived over 220 years! That's amazing. I wonder what it looks like in bloom . . .

I toured Peacefield last year and it was wonderful, but didn't get to see the Tree Rose and love the historical insight you provided. Terrific

Summer Attraction

This tiger swallowtail butterfly was a delight to see pollinating the phlox bed along my driveway.
