'Babies, just babies. Also roses. And I now have a new rose, which is a piece of magic. I have a Barbra Streisand rose. They named a rose after me,” Barbra said.
“Congratulations,” Stephen said.
“And I picked it because of the smell and the color of it,” Barbra continued.
'But what happened the other day? I have a rose called Lasting Love, I will show it to you, outside my house. Has a great scent. And one day I saw a pink rose appear on the same stem. It's a red rose, okay? A pink rose appeared. I named it Barbra's Baby,” said Barbra, who was interviewed at her home in Malibu, California.
Barbra said the new rose was studied and her breeder cut a piece of the stem and let it grow for more than two years to make sure it would hold up.
'And it's there. Barbra's Baby is coming into the world, folks,” Barbra said.
For his first question, Stephen asked Barbra about her favorite sandwich.
