Thought I would take a break from the flood photo's and post a photo for Foofy Friday and SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES.

The Rose was a 1979 film starring Bette Midler in her Oscar Nominated role. It was based loosely on the life of Janis Joplin. It was a highly successful movie and the song was also a big hit. If you haven't seen the movie, you owe it to yourself to check it out.

I dedicate the photo to Stan Roseman also know as Ace. Stan is a longtime member and award winning rose grower. I hope life is treating him well.

EDIT: Kathy said this is an old rose. The original bush belonged to my wife's late Grandmother. She died in 1992. We replanted a start from the rosebush in 1996. It was growing wild in the field where her house once stood. The house had been destroyed by fire a few years before she died. Her last name was Hatfield and my daughter called her Grandma Happy. She was know by that name until she died. So Kathy is right about it being an old rose.
