"We're really just devastated that someone would steal an important piece of our historic treasure," said Kim Staub, the executive director. "It's a beautiful little rose bush. It has these petite little pink blossoms every year. It's one of our few that bloom throughout the summer." "We suspect that someone wanted to propagate the plant, to try to regrow it for sale. We don't know for sure, but that is our belief based on how it was cut and how it was damaged," said Staub. "It was first introduced to the rose trade in 1906 and it's been here at Wyck since the 1910s.
