In 2005 Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast leaving more than 1800 people dead and over 160 billion dollars of destruction in its path. The Rose Without a Name is the story of the rose that was the only rose in Peggy Martin’s garden of 450 roses to survive the effects of the hurricane. Its miraculous survival gave hope to a broken land. The gorgeous rose, once popularly known as the Katrina Rose, is now officially named the Peggy Martin Rose. Melisssa Vandiver’s vivid illustrations are a beautiful addition to the text. The book includes facts about hurricanes and roses. The back of the book has the true story and photographs of Peggy Martin and her rose. (https://crimsondragonpublishing.com/product/the-rose-without-a-name/)
