In what is called the Golden Age of The Netherlands (the 16th and 17th centuries), The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg were one country. (Benelux is the name of a 3 poststamp country bond between Belgium, The Netherlands, and Luxembourg which nowadays is superseded more and more by the European Communities.)

1) General Most of the information in these scoops is from the book Rozen van de lage Landen (Roses of the Netherlands), by Elsie De Raedt.
2) About Elsie De Raedt Elsie is a lady (about my age) who used to live near Antwerp in Belgium, but not so long ago moved to France. If I recollect correctly in the Loire Valley where she settled in a nice French Mansion with a couple of acres of nice rose soil. It is possible to visit her and her garden. She receives small groups to teach them about roses. In Belgium, she also has a nice rose garden near Antwerp and taught people about roses -- I am sad never having visited that garden before she moved. She also used to write articles for gardening magazines, worked on radio programs in Belgium, and lectured on roses at several international meetings. She volunteered with rose breeders and hybridizers in Germany and in Belgium with Mr. Lens.
