Rose D'or D'Antibes Festival--Another Explanation of the Yellow Rose

From 1962-1979, the festival Rose D'or D'Antibes was an annual competition for French song writers.  The festival stopped in 1980, but resumed in 1994.  See picture on right and explanation (in French) at the website: http://www.rose-dor.fr/ .

Rose D'or in English means gold rose.  In my post of September 3, 2010, I showed an image of the  Time magazine charicature of the Beatles with real Paul leaning back and appearing dead, holding a yellow rose.  There may be a connection between the Rose D'or festival and Paul.  More coming up.   ---paulumbo.
