Francis Meilland Hybrid Tea Rose,

Meitroni,

the most beautiful rose in 2013,

selected by the All-America Rose Selections.

Now the year is ending, the news are packed with important people who did this and that, and flowers have no room there, but they have its place here on our blog. Of course.

"Flowers are the sweetest things 

that god ever made,

and forgot to put a soul into".

Henry Beecher
