Annie is a personal friend of mine, and I hope this rose brings her smile after smile. In her words......"This rose was created to commemorate a series of perfect happenings - marriage to a wonderful guy, single lung transplantation in 1997, a milestone birthday, AND to consummate my love of roses, this beautiful pink/mauve speciman makes her debut in the Spring of 2010. Many thanks to our good friend Mardy Duncan for planting the idea and for my husband Peter who ran with it. I, and I hope many others, will enjoy "Annie Davidson" blooms forever. "
