In 1997 Barbara Striesand asked hybridizer/horticulturist Tom Carruth of Weeks Wholesale Rose Grower, Inc. in California to develop a rose for her. Being an avid rose breeder herself it took some time before Tom was able to come up with a rose that met the songster's particular requirements. Only after test growing several candidates in her own rose garden did she choose this very fragrant lavender or mauve hybrid tea rose to carry her name.
