[From "Trip to Chico", by Jill Perry, pp. 5-7]
The Heritage has a couple roses that came from Princeton Cemetery. A couple years ago I stopped to get new cuttings of one that had died, and also collected one I call “Princeton Pink” and one I called “Old Wooden Marker.” ....The cemetery is still active, so there are also some roses from the 1980s there. (When I got home, “Old Wooden Marker” was in bloom, just opening; it was a gorgeous velvety red, with purplish outermost petals. By morning when I took this picture, the colors had faded a bit, and I got that sinking feeling that it could be Dr. Huey. But I grabbed a leaf from a plant of Dr. Huey and compared them. The stipules are clearly different, so I heaved a sigh of relief.) of the farm roads we took. No time to stop then, but we spotted it gain on the way home and stopped. By the gate, a rose grew on each side, Bourbons, I think. The gate had been replaced in 1985, so I don’t know if they are old plants that have been there since the 1800s, or if someone bought or transplanted heritage roses in the 80s.
