Garden centers offer preview of Oprah rose
Some garden centers in California's Bay Area received pre-release shipments of the new Legends rose, featured on the cover of O, Oprah Winfrey's magazine. Winfrey named the rose in honor of 25 influential African-American women. Matt Lepow, owner of Almaden Valley Nursery in San Jose, told the Mercury News he's taking pre-orders for the plant — which is one of the largest hybrid tea roses ever created. Regan Nursery in Fremont will also carry the rose.
