| Official Announcement | The Postal Service will
issue a 33-cent Coral Pink Rose definitive stamp in a two-sided PSA booklet of 20
(Item Number 660400) in New York, NY, on April 7, 2000. The stamp, designed by Derry Noyes
of Washington, DC, and illustrated by Ned Seidler of Hampton Bay, NY, goes on sale
nationwide on April 8, 2000. This stamp was previously issued in a different format. Roses are one of the most favored and beloved flowers throughout the world. They are cherished for their beautiful and fragrant blossoms, numerous varieties, and excellent displays in gardens and as cut flowers. The rose depicted on the U.S. Postal Service stamp is coral pink with a rounded form and abundant petals and is similar to the “America” variety of rose that was named to honor the United States bicentennial. No matter what color, shape, or fragrance, the rose remains an outstanding and much-admired flower. |
