Peggy Martin

This thornless climber is a found rose commemorating Peggy Martin, an ardent supporter and member of the New Orleans Old Garden Rose Society. This rose blooms heavily every spring covering itself with heavy clusters of bright pink blooms, and after established for several years, repeats in fall. May bear a few flowers through summer. Peggy lost her parents and home in Hurricane Katrina, but her rose survived two weeks of submersion in salt water. In remembrance of the victims of Hurricane Katrina and the fortitude of its survivors, we have Peggy’s rose. Zones 6-9.
