Rosa hybrid. Drawn at home from a flower purchased at the Napa Valley Farmers Market in St. Helena, California. Cultivated roses probably originated in northern Persia. Today there are more than 20,000 cultivars, with many new varieties coming out each year. Roses are the most written about, most studied, best loved, and most widely grown of all shrubs. They appear in art and literature more than any other flower. This lush hybrid tea rose that captured Henry’s fancy is, in itself, a flower of perfect beauty. It evokes sentiment, love, and nostalgia. —Marsha Onomiya Evans
