Francis Meilland was passionate about roses. He loved their rich perfume, their buds unfurling in the summer sun, and their petals, soft as lambs' ears. Like his father and grandfather before him, Francis cultivated flowers on the family farm in France. In his teens, he set about grafting and experimenting, determined to create a rose no one had seen before, and as the world braced for World War II, he rushed cuttings to rose-growing friends around the globe. Six patient years later, word reached him: his rose had not only flourished; people were calling it the Peace Rose. An ideal gift for science and history buffs and for gardeners of all ages, this life story of a special flower is also a love song to living a dream from beginning to end, through sun and through storm"--Amazon.com.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Meilland Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hanapepe Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Meilland Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Meilland Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography Meilland Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Meilland Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Meilland Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList
