G'day,A question regrding the data supplied for this plant. If 'COMsor' alias 'Norita' was introduced in the USA in 1966, how can it have been bred in France in 1971?Are the dates the wrong way around, or was it bred in 1961?Can someone clarify this for me (and others) please, as it will help in trying to identify which dark red, heavily scented rose my grandmother (Rosann Johnson nee Feaver) grew from the late 60s or early 70s, with her collection mostly having dated from hybrid tea roses bred from the 1957-1963 year range.Many thanks,"Rosann"

There's a lot of confusion in the rose world concerning the various dates used by different sources -- the date a rose is bred, the date(s) of introduction(s), the registration date, etc., and HMF is currently undertaking a review to try to improve the accuracy of the information provided concerning these various dates. According to Modern Roses 11, COMsar was introduced in the U.S. in 1966 and registered in 1971, so I think it's safe to assume that it was bred prior to 1966.

Many thanks for this information which confirms my suspicions.

I hope to obtain a cutting of her rose from the current owners of the house, assuming her roses are still in place.

If not (perish the thought), is there any way of knowing if the Werribee Rose garden in Victoria, or other Victorian growers, would have it in their collection?

I know that the Bordertown cemetery has it, but I can't get there in the rose cutting season for at least another year or more.

Cheers,

"Rosann"

I'm afraid that I can't help you with this part, Rosann. Hopefully, someone closer to home will see your question and will be able to chime in. Good luck with your quest! Cliff	REPLY
