Notes:
HMF Previously listed the hybrid tea Amber Star separately and we still refer to Roses in Review as a source. Phillip Schorr researched the source of the information on the two names and found Amber Star got on RIR because it was in the Combined Rose List. CRL apparently picked it up from a catalog listing by Roses Unlimited. Phillip contacted Pat Henry of RU and got the mystery solved. Amber Star was a Ben Williams rose that he initially classed as a hybrid tea. As Ben was known to do from time to time, he decided the class was wrong and that he wanted to change the name. He thus reclassified it as a floribunda and renamed it Jacob van Ruysdael. This is the name under which it has been sold for the last few years.
