American Beauty rose tale ends in tragedy and glory
The disputed origin of the American Beauty rose centers on John Brady a gardener who perfected the red rose for George Bancroft and later faced ruin as poverty struck Brady and his family after Bancroft's death. The rose gained fame but Brady lost it all to hardship and hunger while others profited from its legacy.
