A well-deserved award was announced at the recent Spring National Convention Of The American Rose Society. Steve Jones, current ARS President, made the announcement at the society's awards banquet. Citing the original work, and continued efforts of this eminent Rosarian, Jones announced the presentation of a Presidential Citation to Mel Hulse, Director and guiding spirit of the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden.
Mel Hulse, champion of rare and endangered roses, Rose Rustler, Master Propagator, is loved by all who love roses. No one could be more deserving of such an honor. Mel was unable to be present for Jones's announcement, but Jolene Adams, Northern California-Nevada-Hawaii District Director presented his Citation in a small ceremony on July 16, in San Jose, California.

Jeri notes the recent ARS award presentation to Mel Hulse of the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden. Mel certainly needs no introduction in the rose community; he is respected and admired far and near.
In addition, we are truly fortunate and grateful to have his long standing support here at HelpMeFind. Before becoming an administrator, Mel was one of our very first "official" guests - we have well over 100,000 registered guests and Mel is number 3.
His rose expertise in tandem with his knowledge of and experience with computer systems has been instrumental in HMF's progress. He has the insight to know what to do; the experience to know how to do it; and the dedication to roll up his sleeves and start doing it. His only failing seems to be his inability to make enemies: I've never heard an unkind word spoken of him.
