Here are some extracts from the book. Back in 1973, Empress Farah while visiting France was invited to preside a ceremony at the Grand Trianon in Versailles where the Rose of the Year was shown.
Monsieur Georges Delbard presented the Empress of Iran with a basket of flowers from his celebrated gardens (see photo above.) The Empress spoke for a long time with him and during the conversation the Empress asked for the help of the French horticulturist to develop different essences of flowers in Iran. Later on, in 1975, it was decided to launch in Dashte Moghan in the Nort East of Iran a 6000 hectares model fruit orchard. More than three millions fruit trees were planted under the direction of Mr. Delbard, alas the 1979 revolution put an unfortunate end to this useful and spectacular agricultural program which benefited the entire nation.

My longest lasting flower by far is a rose called imperatrice farah. Starts whiteish green then the edges turn red as they are exposed to the sun. It only gets to be more and more pretty. When you have alot of blooms on the bush it looks like it has many different types of flowers on it. These two pictures are of the same flower about 2 weeks apart.
