Our Favorite Objects: The Thousand-Year Rose (Classic)

The Atlas Obscura Podcast

We visit the world’s oldest rose, which is so tough that it survived being bombed in World War II.


 

All week, we’re featuring the stories behind a few of our favorite things – from ancient hams to mummified fingers. Want to tell us about your own favorite unusual object? Give us a call at 315-992-7902 and leave a message, record a voice memo and email it to us at hello@atlasobscura.com. We may air your story on a future episode!
