Notes:

His Majesty, Gustave, King of Sweden by birth but rosarian by choice, offered a cash premium for an everblooming Rose that would resist the bleak winters of the land of the midnight sun.

Gustaf V (1858-1950) became king in 1907 upon the death of his father. His motto was: With the people for the land of our fathers.
