Extra Credit Questions

[Eva Elisabeth]

Roger, Mary would have been my next hint - the rose may* have witnessed her, but not in Europe.
(*Please notice that while it is believed the rose dates back to those days there is no absolute proof!)

Hint #2: I think it was also a smart idea of Gene's to find out the state.

Is this in the Washington D C area?

Good question, but it's not in or near DC.

Hint #2: My hint was rather referring to the kind of surrounding the rose belongs to!.

So, in which places would roses grow? (Wilderness?)
