National Rose Month: Ronald Reagan
(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it.)
One of our new roses this year is the Ronald Reagan rose. This rose was named in honor of President Reagan in part because in 1986 he signed the resolution into law that made the rose the national flower of the United States.
