Rose of the Day: Never Forget Rose

Today’s Rose of the Day is Never Forget Rose, hybridized by Fabien Ducher in France. It decorates the Never Forget garden at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington, VA. This rose is super healthy and makes an abundance of blooms. It’s trying to climb into my Linden tree, which I think is pretty neat.
