Support a Charity & Alden Lane While Honoring Jacquie

We are bringing in a number of these gorgeous 2-gallon miniature roses and we will donate $5 from the purchase of each rose to the Rotarian Foundation Livermore. The Foundation provides grants to our favorite Valley non-profits needing a hand during these challenging times. The rose cost is $39.99, $5 of which will be donated.

Rose History

Alden Lane Nursery owner, Jacquie Williams-Courtright served as the California Association of Nurserymen state president in 1996-1997. Each president is asked to select a theme for their year. She wanted to buoy the spirits of industrymen who had just experienced two challenging years so she decided that her theme would be “Everything’s Coming Up Roses”. The theme resonated with the membership and fortunately the economy was “rosier” during her year in office.

One nurseryman took a special interest in Jacquie’s theme. Ralph Moore, world renowned plant breeder and owner of Moore’s Miniature Roses in Visalia, had known Jacquie since her time at Cal Poly where he would regularly come to teach and engage the youth of the industry. He was proud of Jacquie’s accomplishments since her graduation and wanted to recognize her contributions by naming one of his miniature roses in her honor. What a tribute!
