The 'Kristina Louise' rose was named to remember and honor Kristina Louise Chesterman, an inspiring and wonderful neighbor of mine. The story of how the rose came to be named is told in the June 2015 newsletter of the American Rose Society - http://content.delivra.com/etapcontent/AmericanRoseSociety/attachments/June_2015_ARSYou.pdf.

The rose is moderately fragrant with lovely magenta-pink blooms. The shiny green foliage is the most beautiful and healthy in my northern California garden.

If you are interested in obtaining the rose, please contact www.KristinaChesterman.org or (facebook) Remembering Kristina Chesterman. Currently all proceeds go to Children to Love International, an organization focused on meeting the needs of suffering children of the world.
