Max Ryan. 'Beslan' (HT 2004) 'Virgo' x 'Signature'. Prior to registration of the rose, a terrible atrocity occurred in the Russian province of Beslan, causing the loss of 344 civilians, of whom 186 were schoolchildren. Mrs. Marmont, of Russian descent now residing in Goulburn, planned fundraising events for the province. The Russian Ambassador to Australia, Mr. Leonid Moiseev came to Goulburn for the presentation of the funds raised. Max took this opportunity to ask Mr. Moiseev for permission to name his new hybrid rose. Mrs. Marmont also accepted a plant of 'Beslan'. Max, with his wife, Jean and a delegation of Goulburn residents, attended the Russian Embassy in Canberra for a planting ceremony of 'Beslan' at the embassy. Max, Jean and Mrs. Marmont continue to accept an annual invitation to the Russian National Day celebrations held at the embassy in Canberra on 12 June.
