David Austin is my Hero. You know, the famed British Rose breeder? Hmm, well maybe you don't know. At anyrate, he breeds roses of such astonshing beauty, vigor, and delightful fragrance that just viewing his web page makes my eyes tear out of sheer admiration. I know there are other more noble people to choose as heros, but there you are. I've long since claimed that I want my ashes spread in the planting whole of a Graham Thomas rose. I hope my family realizes I'm not joking. One of my greatest joys is a branch of my parents Graham Thomas that has developed a sport, a genetic mutation that can be reproduced by cuttings. It's a pale pink version of the glowing Mr. Thomas that takes on a clear yellow glow as the blossom matures. I so hope the cuttings I had my father take hold true to form. Maybe I can actually meet my hero, once I share with him what one of his stunning creations has brought into the world.
Hugs.
