| I know the landscaper who designed and installed Steve Job's Woodside, CA garden back in the mid-late '90s, and although I can't verify Steve Job's exact literal "favorite" rose, I do know that my friend Chip said he planted a large # of the beautiful Graham Thomas roses on his property. My friend (and former landscaping boss) Chip now lives in Scotland; but we still keep in touch, so I'll try to remember to ask him your question the next time I e-mail him. |

| Neat question. Anxious to see the answer to both. |
|
| The photo of Constance Spry engulfing a fence that appeared in the Austin catalog for several years was from the Pixar property, which Jobs owned at one time. |
|
| The information about 'Constance Spry' comes from the Eulogy Jobs' sister wrote and delivered. I don't question it. I'm assuming she knows. YMMV. Jeri |
