I looked up the entry for 'Mrs. Aaron Ward' and am taken to the page for 'Cl. Mrs. Aaron Ward,' which is a sport of 'Mrs. Aaron Ward.' The search feature does not take you to the entry for 'Mrs. Aaron Ward' (not the climber). However, when I did a Google search on Rosa 'Mrs. Aaron Ward,' I did find that HMF has a page for this rose (http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=2.4296). However, you cannot find this page on a search at HMF, so something's out of whack with the search for this rose. Just thought I'd call it to your attention.

Mrs Aaron Ward works, for both bush and climber. Looks like the search engine doesn't like full stops.

The same thing still happens with my Dr Grill from Honeysuckle, except I have to put a full stop after Dr to find it.

Thank you! Who knew search features could be fussy about punctuation?!

I had this problem with adding references the other day; I can't remember which rose, but I do think it was a Mrs Something-or-Other, and I ended up at the record for the climbing version. I don't usually use full-stops when searching, but won't swear that I didn't this time. A key word search with the last name turned up both forms.
Possessives can be tricky to search for, too. If you search for Vick's Caprice, for instance, typing in "Vick's" won't get you there. Typing in the full name or 'Vick' without the apostrophe or 'Caprice' will work...
