Quatre Saisons (Autumn Damask)

The Quatre Saisons is the first bush rose to bloom in my garden this year. An ancient rose which came from the Middle East it is thought to be the same rose mentioned by Herodotus in the 5th Century B.C., growing in the gardens of Midas and more sweetly scented than all other roses.

Our cousin Diana in San Antonio is very ill. This rose is dedicated to her.  Send your prayers.
