There should be a new entry for rose, which should be called R. Banksiae “Fragrant Snowflake,” that Dr Basye created but wasn’t put here on helpmefind. In “Rose Rustlers,” by Greg Grant and William C. Welch, they quote from Dr. Basye saying:
‘This kindly old gentleman [Domenico Aicardi], then in his upper seventies, responded by sending me a generous handful of banksiae seeds, which must have taken him several hours to extract from the very small hips of banksiae. I have never forgotten his generosity.’
Then Grant and Welch wrote:
“Starting in 1969 […] Dr. Basye went on to use one of these new single thornless white banksias to produce his 85-04 ‘‘Thornless Fortuniana' rootstock, which he bred in 1984.
“I took cuttings of Dr. Basye's single white banksia with me as a historical curiosity and later planted it in my garden in Arcadia. Though not as showy as the double white Lady Banks, it is the most fragrant rose I've ever grown. [[…] I later named Dr. Basye's seedling 'Fragrant Snowflake and also sold it at our SFA Gardens plant sales.”
The single banks rose in commerce could be from Dr. Basye I think.

I've noticed that Helpmefind.com has several conflicting parentages for many of Basye's wonderful but limited roses. I have been a fan of Dr. Basye's roses (infact, I have a nice yellow seedling of Abraham Darby X Basye's Amphidiploid.) The following set of records were collected from my collection or American Rose Annuals, written by Dr. Basye himself when he was alive. Basye's Probable Amphidiploid seedling of R. moschata abysinnica x R. rugosa Note: no chemicals were used to induce tetraploidy. Just like R. kordesii, it was an open pollinated seedling that had doubled chromosomes. This contradicts what many hybridizers believe, but this source comes directly from Dr. Basye's article on his probable amphidiploid.Basye's Legacy (77-361) Basye's Amphidiploid x Commander Gillette Commander Gillette (65-626)seedling of a seedling of R. carolina X Hugh Dickson Basye's Blueberry (82-1134)Commander Gillette x ((Commander Gillette x (R. virginiana alba x Betty Morse)) Belinda's Dream Jersey Beauty x Tiffany Basye's Myrrh-Scented Rose (R. macrantha x Dickson's Red) x Prima Ballerina |

Hi, There is problems with the format. I will attempt to fix this problem by putting in brakets. Is someone on helpmefind.com have a way where I can space this information? I had this properly spaced and for some reason, it became a single paragraph.
