Roses of Yesterday and Today Archive

This listing has been created to illustrate the wonderful selection of roses which had been readily available in the United States. The information has been gathered from catalogs dating 1950 through 1959 and 1970 through 1992. Should anyone have access to years prior to 1950; the decade of the 1960s; and years after 1992 and would like to share copies of the Index pages from them, I would appreciate it and be happy to include them in this archive. Thank you.

Hello Kim,
I have the Roses of Yesterday and Today catalogues for 1964, 1965, 1971, 1974, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1980, 1981 and 1987.
I have just now emailed you scans of the indexes for 1964 and 1965. If you would like me to load any references at all on to HMF, you only have to ask.

Thank you Patricia! How lovely of you. I appreciate it. Ironically, the two responses about older catalogs are for just those years. Seems ROYAT was really popular then. I need to learn how to add references which aren't already in the database, to include the various Combined Rose Lists and the ROYAT catalogs for years not already included. Thank you!

Sorry Kim, I am not very clear on what you need, and I don't know what ROYAT IS.

I'm sorry Patricia, I've received the four emails of the Roses Of Yesterday and Today (ROYAT) index pages and added them to the master list for updating.
If it's convenient, and you have time, would you please also email those from 1976, 77 and 78? That will enable me to make sure odd things didn't come and go quickly as had occurred a few times in the series I have. Thank you!

ROYAT. Staring me in the face, wasn't it?
The three indexes on their way right now.

Thank you Patricia, they've been included now, except for the ones which aren't in the database. Now, to add them and do references. You wouldn't happen to LIKE doing references, would you?

Of course I like loading references. I've been doing this fairly constantly now since 2007 and it gives a great sense of contributing to the international rose scene. Which roses were you thinking of?

Patricia.........
You can open the PLANTS AVAILABLE tab on Kim's archival lists of plants sold and look at the coding to the right of the rose name. If you don't see an "F" you, the rose page does not have a REFERENCE on HMF. I think that's the best place to start.
Smiles,
Lyn
