The international language of roses is now being spoken in Tryon's most historic African-American Neighborhood.
This weekend at the Nina Simone Birthplace, we planted three hybrids of white roses to begin White Rose Garden -- a living international symbol of honor, respect and equality.
This weekend we expanded the core mission of the Nina Simone Birthplace and the Bountiful Neighborhood Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization BnESCO to include this international symbol of basic human-rights worldwide and we together with representative from BnESCO we planted it in furtile soil.
This weekend we brought the world home to the place where the voice of equality found its way into this world and was nurtured to maturity. This weekend we found the White Rose.
die Weiße Rose
We must thank Paul Zimmerman and the outstanding folks at Ashdown Roses for helping us understand the tools we are using to deliver this message of hope and encouragement.
Ashdown Roses helped us select the right hybrids for the right purpose and the right places. Maitland White is now a stand alone tribute we will train into a column, Nelson's Pride flanks the property historical marker as a sign of unity between the left and the right and Perennial White will be making its way up the front porch to cascade beauty from above.
Please support Ashdown Roses and discover the beauty these remarkable flowers transcribe for us all.
As we continue to select varieties and hybrids for the Birthplace, we are also working towards the creation of the Nina Simone Birthplace Hybrid. With the support of BnESCO, we are encouraging Rosarians worldwide to develop the perfect white rose for the Nina Simone Birthplace through an international competition.
