Steve Jobs loves Constance Spry

Apart from being a president of Pixar Animation Studios, CEO of Apple Computer Inc, and acting as a board member of Disney, few people know that Steve Jobs is also a huge rose fan. His favourites are old fashioned roses. In front of Pixar Animation Studios, on a 100 yards long fence, there grows an amazing display of one particular rose -- Constance Spry.
Here it is, ladies and gentlemen, 100 yards long fence, in full bloom. Truly amazing display, a heaven for both our eyes and noses. Leaves you speechless. I believe this is the grandest display of Constance Spry anywhere in the world.
And Constance Spry surely deserves that.
- Tom

Constance is a beauty and the perfect example of why people grow once-flowering roses. What wouldn't you give to have it in your own garden - the glorious anticipation every spring as you watched the buds open!

I so appreciate your posting photos such as this one Tom. It is great to see the whole rose plant and how it can be grown and not just the bloom itself.

Would you just look at that. How beautiful to see it in real life. In my next life I'm going to have one just like it. (I already have to live to about 500 to fit everything in that I want to do this life!!!!!!!!!!) Many thanks for this photo. Marnie

No offense, but this shows why Constance Spry should be left to public gardens and billionaires! LOL!
