Roses

Judging by this site change list, one would think nothing new is happening on HMF but the actually the opposite true, we've just been too busy to post our many improvements. We need to do a better job of this.

Several of you had pointed out a problem our plant lineage descendant reports. Well..., you were right and after some deep digging we found and corrected the problem. We also made several improvements including making it MUCH faster.

Enjoy.

Added the chromosome counts for the roses listed in "Chromosome Numbers In Rose Varieties," from Progress Report, 1949-53, Horticulture Division, Central Experimental Farm - Ottawa (1953).
