Jean-Baptiste van Mons (November 11, 1765 Brussels - September 6, 1842, Leuven), Belgian scientist, botanist and pomolog, Professor for chemistry and agriculture in Leuven (1817-1830).[From Journal of a Horticultural Tour through some parts of Flanders, Holland, and the North of France, in the Autumn of 1817, by Patrick Neill, 1823, p. 306:]...garden and nurseries of M. Van Mons. Over the door we found inscribed Pepiniere de la Fidelité...[From Journal of a Horticultural Tour through some parts of Flanders, Holland, and the North of France, in the Autumn of 1817, by Patrick Neill, 1823, p. 311:] Mr. Van Mons attends to other branches of horticulture besides the raising of fruit-trees....Nor has he been altogether inattentive to the raising of ornamental plants, particularly roses. Of these he possesses a very considerable variety; and in this favourable situation, they spring up so readily, that he enjoys every advantage for prosecuting their culture. He pointed out to some seedling rose-bushes, many of them with the leading shoots nearly a foot high, which had sprung from seeds sown in March last (1817), after the heps had lain in repositories for more than a dozen of years.
