anything that we get enjoyment out of
that doesn’t involve work?”
Even though most people would
consider Dr. Rose a grower of roses,
he says, "I don’t grow them. The Lord
grows them.
“I merely plant them and care for
them. God"does the rest. I don’t know
how a rose grows.”
Dr. Rose is very adamant about
sharing his roses. Firstly, he plants
them only in his front yard so that
others may see and enjoy them. And
he is always more than willing to cut
stems for those who ask.
He even places one of his roses in
the window of his church, The First
United Methodist Church of Cum
ming, every Sunday. “They’re God’s
plants. Why shouldn’t I place them
there?”
But when it comes to cutting flowers
to be placed in his own home Dr.
Rose doesn’t. “I’ve got them outside
to enjoy,” he explains.
Dr. Rose figures he spends about 85

Our B-Series orange Kubota tractors range from 12

All have a hydraulic 3-point hitch, standard rear PTO,

only to his roses, but also his lawn, a
few other plants and his garden.
He says he was kept busy with his
rose blooms last year from the last
week in April all the way through the
first week in November a little over
six months.
Even though Dr. Rose knows how to
breed roses, he says he just prefers to
nurture them. He doesn’t even enter
rose contests because he says he
knows nothing about arranging flow
ers.
Because of Dr. Rose's love for and
appreciation of the rose, he is often
asked to lecture to groups mostly
garden clubs.
Through the years, in order to per
form this task, he has accumulated a
wealth of information about the
showy, fragrant flower: its history,
tips on care and man’s ageless infat
uation with its beauty.
Dr. Rose notes that, through the
world’s botanists and poets, “the rose
has received more publicity than any
other flower in existance.” He says

Estimated cost for establishing one

the new junior high schools is $25,000.
Sheryl Bells, Otwell Middle School’s
reading lab instructor, and Mrs. Ben
son gave a favorable report on the
success of the labs this year, saying it is
“one of the better remediation pro

(This is the first year the labs have
been in existence at OMS. They were
started with a federal grant.)

the rose is the most-written-about
plant of all time.
One of Dr. Rose’s most favorite bits
of rose trivia concerns some informa
tion he found in a 19th century book on
etiquette. He relates the story as
follows:
It used to be that when a gentleman
was interested in a certain young
lady, he would send her a gift of one
red rose which signified, “I love you.”
It was then the young lady’s duty to
choose one of four replies: If she
answered by sending a single yellow
rose, she indicated that her admirer
was “fickle.” If it was a white rose
bud that she sent, she said, “I am too
young to love.” And if she delivered a
single rose leaf, her reply was, “I care
not.”
Of course the gentleman could al
ways sign off with a musk rose which
told the lady, “Thou art a capricious
beauty.”
But, according to Dr. Rose, if the
gentleman’s gesture caused the lady
to respond with a single red rose, then
a match was made.
