The Peggy Martin rose is a beloved treasure in Louisiana. Known for its resiliency, it survived two weeks submerged in saltwater, after Hurricane Katrina, in a New Orleans resident’s backyard, Mrs. Peggy Martin.

During 2005 when the devastating hurricane hit Louisiana, Peggy Martin was living in Plaquemines Parish in southeast part of Greater New Orleans. When Mrs. Martin returned to her home after the evacuation from the storm, she found only two surviving plants, one of which was a climbing rose that had been started from cuttings and was passed down to her.

William Welch, a horticulturist with Texas AgriLife Extension, was a guest of Martin before the hurricane hit. He was fond of the climbing, thornless rose and had gotten cuttings of it. After the hurricane, he wanted to do something to give back to the areas devastated by the storm and by doing something kind for Peggy.

Welch had received his bachelor’s degree in landscape architecture and both his master’s and doctoral degrees in extension education and horticulture from LSU. Touched by her loss and those of the Gulf South that had been affected by the storm, he propagated and sold the plant, naming it the “Peggy Martin” rose. He then used some of the profits that were collected and sent them to Garden Club of America Horticulture Restoration Fund for the historic gardens of the Gulf South that had been devastated by the hurricane.

Peggy Martin roses are a Southern favorite due to their ease of care, disease resistance and gorgeous, prolific pink blooms. Plants can be easily found at local retail nurseries and are a wonderful addition to home gardens. The climbing roses are often planted along fence lines and trellises and can grow 6 to 15 feet in height and width. They should be planted in full sun.

I watched 2 beautiful people say I do today...but I see this pretty often. But something different happened today. Today was more about the children that playfully ran up the isle, the 2 new families that, as of today, are officially considered one. Today was more about the friends that attended the wedding and the smiles on the groom and bride's faces as their friends walked in to celebrate one thing, LoVE. But not just love between a bride and a groom but between the bride and the groom with their new families and old friends. So as I end my Valentines Day of 2013, I realize it's not about the gifts we give each other. tonight, I will go to sleep thanking God for simply the presence of my boyfriend, my friends, my family, my job, my puppies, and especially the experiences in my life that make me a better person every day! So happy V-day 2013!! you were an amazing one
