Notes:
Sport of Miss Flippins discovered by Joseph C. Smith and Brenda Landers-Smith. Registered with ARS - April 2004. Joe named the rose after his wife to be 'Lady Bren'.
'Lady Bren's first show was Fall 2006 at the Armstrong Rose Show in Carlsbad, CA. See blue ribbon photos.
'Lady Bren' holds its exhibition form much longer than 'Miss Flippins' perhaps due to higher petal count or color/substance. Slow opening. Long sturdy stems. Looks like a mini 'Elizabeth Taylor', (one of parents of 'Miss Flippins') with a white reverse.
