Hi, yes thats the 4th of July rose. I have a story behind my rose bush too. I was never supposed to be able to get pregnant after I had been on this medicine . I did and I have my wonderful daughter now 7 yrs old. ( I have older children too) My new husband was so happy & then we found out I was pregnant again. I fell and lost the baby. It was early on so it wasn't as hard as it could have been. I just was so sad that he sent me out one day & when I came home he planted a rose garden for the me & the lost baby. The forth of July rose was the special one in honor of the baby planted over a trellis, we have over a little angel under. The 4th of July is the hardiest and favorite of ours. It just keeps going strong and is so pretty with its stripes. It grew where I never thought it would and it sure is a hardy rose where I live in NJ. ~P~

I loved my 4th of July rose bush. It bloomed all season long, and made it through every kind of weather. Planted in rocky soil, with a rose jobe stick by it.

God bless you - you are my spiritual twin. I have nearly the same story as you; I have one child that is 22, and another that is eight. We have had three miscarriages after them (two very early, and one later) and my husband planted a rose garden to ease our pain.

Our "babies' rose" is Knock Out, plus some others which have been added. We have a little sleeping angel statue, plus a little laughing bunny and duck. The rose bring joy to us, and never ceases to remind us of the wonder of God's gifts of love to us - our children...
