An antique rose with local connections was featured on the Grayson County Gardeners Spring Garden Tour last weekend. "Gideon Lincecum", with pure white blossoms and deep green foliage, is named for the pioneer plant collector and rosarian. Among his descendants are newly retired Austin College professor, Dr. Jerry Lincecum; Dr. Lincecum also has the rose growing in his garden in Sherman.
Antique roses perform reliably in the garden as they are proven to be disease resistant and require little special care. For more information on roses and other garden questions, contact the Grayson County Master Gardeners, 903-813-4204.
