A picture of the 'Miller-Hayes' rose is said to be on the cover of the 1875 catalog of the Miller-Hayes Mount Airy Nurseries of Germantown, Pennsylvania, should anyone be in a position to find a copy of said catalog.

I recently ordered the Purple Lodge rose from Burlington, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The plant arrived quickly, with very affordable shipping, and even though there was a $17 agricultural inspection fee due to Arizona regulations, that’s not Burlington’s fault. They made the process smooth, and the rose arrived in fantastic condition—it's a large, healthy plant that’s already looking great. I’m definitely planning to place a larger order next time to make the fee worthwhile, especially since it’s per order, not per rose. I’m also open to any suggestions for other must-have roses they grow!

i've grown this for two summers in minnesota in a shady spot. sets hips and is very hardy.

Hello, am father J. Benjamin Williams created the rose known first as Seashore and later renamed St. Therese. I was thrilled to see you have it in your garden. Would it be possible to speak with you sometime? I am ben R. Williams and my phone number is 301-910-5578. All the best, Cheers
