All I see are dahlias. Either they only sell roses for a limited time and then remove them or they went to a dahlia only model???

Yes, it seems so. We will remove this nursery from our rose listing.

I am looking for the (business)relation between Blaby Rose Gardens and Verschuren rosenurseries in The Netherlands in the 1950-1960s. How come several Verschuren roses were Blaby named: Blaby Monarch, Blaby Courier, Blaby Jubilee?

Blaby Rose Gardens was managed by a Dutchman, Bernard Hanraads, which explains the business relations with de Ruiter and Verschuren. We added some notes under this listing. A Bernard Hanraads is still on linkedin.com, possibly a descendant. You might try to contact him.

I have a policereport on Mr. and Mrs. Biesheuvel (owners of Blaby Rose Gardens) getting killed in a carcrash in The Netherlands on 16 april 1960. Former employees speak of 'The Manager of Blaby Rose Gardens when I worked there was a man called Jim Chamney' and 'the manager was Mr Walter J Clark'. So....quite some names to check, although the first obviously is not to be consulted

I’ve seen two nurseries list this rose and “Mrs. Keays’ The Bishop” as the same rose. Are they the same?

Which is the other rose?

I thought I posted this under the other rose’s listing. Oops. Velours Episcopal and Mrs. Keay’s The Bishop — I’ve seen these two listed as the same rose.

From my quick research, I do believe that is the case. I picked up Velours from the CCRS plant auction a few years ago. We also grow the Centifolia The Bishop and that is totally different.

Wayside has no roses listed this year.
They do have a listing for "rose companions".
