Notes:
Sheldon's Honey is no longer in existence. John Sheldon's photograph of it is all that remains of this wonderful rose. He writes: 'Sheldon's Honey' was never registered or sent to a nursery for field testing before it was killed. I was lucky to have this picture in my camera. It was a Hybrid Tea with flowers 7" across, tall straight canes 3-5' long, absolutely breathtaking color (you tell me what color it is), and consistently exhibition form! This was just one of many that was lost, I feel very lucky to a least have this picture.
