'Jacob van Ruysdael' rose Description

My HMF:

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

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.
