    Nanny's Rose



    2008-06-04 - Photo By Shamarie Claiborne.
    OUR GRANDMOTHER'S ROSES: These roses are on a bush Tammy Coffey Stanley started from a rose which grew by our grandmother's, Dot Harper's, house, after Nanny died. They were Nanny's favorites," Shamarie Claiborne writes. "Every time I see them I think of Nanny. Lucky Tammy has the green thumb in the family. Not me. I'm really thankful she saved them. Out at Nanny and Granddaddy's old house, the roses have all been removed, so the family is very fortunate to have these beautiful, healthy roses nurtured by my cousin."
