Update 12-13-2023: I found a postcard for Blessing's Motel and I believe it is the same motel as the Red Rose. The address for that was 836 South M-33 but the Red Rose seems to be using the address of the school today. The postcard description matches up in terms of location and the historical photos don't show another motel on that stretch of road. Blessing's was run by Harold and Thelma Blessing.
The Red Rose (there may have been other names) goes back to the late 50's I believe. It appears on the 1961 historical aerial. It was once operated by Robert and Alice Krotzer from 1982-1991. The building still stands as of 2023 on a parcel where a school is located and was for sale as recently as 2015. It doesn't appear a business is operating there as of 2023.
