 MONSTROUS
buds & HUMUNGOUS blossoms of rich ruby red hold their durable brilliance
from beginning to end. IMMENSE petals (just one can cover a child’s
palm) lend a classical Hybrid Tea bud shape, slowly spiraling open to a
ruffled WHOPPER of a show-stopper. LARGE lettuce-like leaves of an
unusual reddened green color gracefully enrobe the long cutting stems –
in perfect proportion to the flower. Who needs a bouquet??? It only
takes one PRODIGIOUS posy to fill a vase.
Oprah Winfrey was involved in the
multi-year evaluation and final selection of the 'Legends' rose. Chosen
to pay tribute to the wonderful women honored during Oprah's Legends
Weekend.
