I am overwhelmed and ecstatic with this Children's book by Carol Stubbs and Nancy Rust. The story is true to facts yet easy to read for children, gloriously illustrated, and moving story. Needless to say I am very happy with the book from beginning to the end! - Peggy Martin, rose aficionado

There is so much for children to learn from this beautiful little book, both as students in a classroom, or on the sofa with their families. It speaks to the beauty of the rose and the little creatures that aid in its growth. It illustrates the power of nature to destroy, but also to restore itself. - Marilyn Wellan, American Rose Society President 2003-2006, Chairman, Rose Horticulture & Research Library Board, American Rose Society, Chairman, Library Committee, Alexandria Garden Club

With its message of triumph over adversity, lovely art, and interesting back material, readers of all ages will enjoy A Rose Without a Name. - Gayle Webre, Children's author and educator

The beautiful and endearing illustrations will entice the little ones to enter Peggy's garden where they will hear the story of the rose that survived the deadly storm. Perhaps it will enkindle a lifelong interest in the beauty and joy of a rose garden. - Maureen Reed Detweiler, Member, Rose Horticulture & Research Library Board, American Rose Society Corresponding Secretary, Board of Directors, Heritage Rose Foundation

The Rose Without a Name is a beautifully illustrated story that gives hope when all seems lost. Based on true events, this is a tale of strong roots, along with a nurturing environment, helping a humble, nameless rose flourish after a great storm seems to destroy all. - Cheryl Mathis, Co-Regional Advisor, Louisiana/Mississippi Chapter of Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators

Overall, I thought The Rose Without a Name has been beautifully written and illustrated. This story is very educational and from a future educator's perspective, I believe this book has many elements that can be used in the classroom and for teaching students. - Allyson Cardwell, K-5 Education Major, University of Tennessee

By using the critters (the worm, the frog, the dragonfly and the bee) to comment on the rose plant and its beauty, the author makes this story whimsical and also timeless. I loved the bright colors of the images, bursting in primary tones...I think this book reaches many hearts and ages, and will be treasured by those who read it. - John Comeaux, Author
