As I have said elsewhere, I think there is a mistake. The Salvation rose, Harlark, from Harkness UK, is apricot, corresponding to the description on your website. Tomsave, the Salvation rose from Ross Roses Australia, is red ...	REPLY

Thanks for the heads-up. I looked up the registration for the George L. Thomson rose and made changes to the rose page to tie to the registration material. Smiles, Lyn	REPLY

Sure. According to the Harkness paper catalogue: "Salvation Harlark - New for 2005. Height 80cm, width 60cm. In both quality and profusion of bloom, this new rose is a rising star for the future. Its prettily formed urn-shaped flowers are glowing amber infused with apricot, and they release a rich fruity perfume. Salvation is an ideal choice for planting out, as well as a delight to cut for indoor decoration. Flower-bearing is in clusters, usually between 3 and 7 blooms per stem, and repeat blooming is recurrent for as long as the growing season continues. Growth is compact, sturdy and bushy. Ideal for general planting in groups, for bedding and for borders. This is an excellent colour to combine among the pinks and blues of summer flower borders. For beds and hedges allow 60cm (2ft) between plants."
"Preview Chelsea Show 2004".
"The Salvation Army receives 10% of net sales of Salvation through the catalogue".
Robert Harkness told me: "When Salvation Army UK asked us to name the rose Salvation we found there was already a rose of that name available from Ross Roses in Australia. We asked Ross Roses if we could use the same name in the UK and they agreed."
Any good??? :-)
P.S. It's a floribunda, on their website - www.roses.co.uk

Thanks Judith ! We'll update the listing. The information on their website was sparse, now we know to use the catalog instead.	REPLY
