A rose is a rose is a PORCELAIN ROSE The Centenary Rose continues to thrive in Hodges Garden, outside of Hamilton Hall and beyond. Mrs. Jean du Tilleux and her family have taken this rose hybrid and sculpted from it a porce- lain rose. The Centenary Rose was far from Mrs.Tilleux ' s first , though she says that of all the porcelain roses she has created, I like this one the best. Mrs. Tilleux ' s roses are in demand around the world for their beauty and precision. She has created over 3500 roses, including one arrangement that was made for the residents of the White House. The Centenary Rose made its appearance during Homecoming. The velvety maroon rose, bred especially for the College, is now cap- tured in the beauty of porce- lain. Mrs. Jean de Tilleaux ; her husband, Os- cardeTilleaux ; and son-in- law, Clifford Eschenfelder all attended Centenary. Rose making is their business of three gen- erations. Each family member has a special job to do to make the finished product, but Mrs. Tilleux inspects each one before they leave. Student Life • 23

O Rose, thou art DR. WEBB ' S CONTRIBUTION The history of the Cen- tenary Rose began but seven year ' s ago yet it is already well rooted in Centenary ' s heritage. The James Family of Ruston, noted in Centenary ' s history for James Dorm, wished to create a garden on Centenary ' s cam- pus to memorialize the late Mrs. Maggie Hodges James and Mrs. Addie Reynolds Hodges , Mr G.W. James ' mother and grandmother. Both of these women were rose lovers so Mr. G.W. James chose to memorialize them, appropriately, with a rose garden. In 1981, Dr. Donald Webb , president of the college, sought out an ap- propriate rose for the memo- rial. He requested Armstrong Nurseries, in California, to create a rose hybrid for Cen- tenary. In 1983, the Centen- ary Rose arrived. This rose incorporates the school ' s colors, grey and maroon. Mr. G.W. James and Dr. Donald Webb placed the roses in new Hodges Gardens, in front of Hamilton Hall. i 22 • Student Life
