Country Spirit® Song by Rosen Tantau presents itself in a delicate lilac shade and opens slowly and uniformly. This nostalgic hybrid tea rose can also be pruned with side buds as a spray rose. It has very large, filled flower long lasting heads and a stem length of 40-60 cm.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
