My grandmother would have loved it. We have our Rose Festival in June, (I'm from the City of Roses), although the rose bushes have several blooms throughout summer and early fall. But it is unusual to see a Rose with a pumpkin ornament! :) Is the Peace Rose fragrant? When I lift a beautiful rose to my nose and discover no fragrance, I'm disappointed. But there are Rose societies which cultivate many variety of roses and one person told me that the best roses don't have a scent, and that a novice cultivator soon "gets over" the desire for a fragrant flower in favor of more highly valued attributes. For me, I prefer to stay an amateur gardner when it comes to the esteemed flower, I still love a fragrant rose garden. That’s a beautiful rose. My grandmother would have loved it.
