I have an authentic Franklin Heirloom doll. The very first doll made in the Romantic Flower Maidens collection. Rose, who is love doll number P11 B. The artist is Merri Roderick, made by the W.S. George China Company.

These are mass-produced dolls that decrease in value, and are worth $25 at best.
I believe there is an error with your description of your doll as I do not believe Franklin Heirloom ever produced a Romantic Flower Maidens collection (or at least there is no such collection on eBay or Google). There is an Ashton Drake Romantic Flower Maidens collection but it appears dolls were also made by the W.S. George China Co. (with Ashton Drake apparently) using this designer; Merri Roderick.

While I am not 100% positive this is the right person....it looks like the artist may still be alive and is on Linked in.

Perhaps she would be kind enough to tell you if your COA and doll match. Just a thought! I have done this for other things...gone to the person and most people are very kind and helpful. There will be one out of 99 rude...Good luck!
I was very curious about this doll as I have known of several cases where a COA for placed with a different doll and was then sold. (at more than one small "local" auction). It may be that something like this happened in this case.
How sad...I bet that is her as she had been producing dolls for years and there is a doll in the picture. Always sad to lose such a lovely soul!
