Gergely Mark (1923 to November 2012) created over 800 roses in his time and it is hoped that most of these can be preserved in Europe.
[From By Any Other Name, January 2013, p. 32-33:] Gergely Márk, passed away in November 2012. His work spanned over fifty years, during which time he brought to life over 800 Hungarian rose varieties. After graduating from the University of Agricultural Sciences of Budapest in 1950, Gergely Márk worked at the Horticultural Research Institute of Budapest. Simultaneously with his rose breeding activities, he established one of the largest rose gardens of Europe of those times. From his retirement in 1981, he continued his work almost entirely from his own resources in his own garden, the Garden of Hungarian Roses, located in Törökbálint, near Budapest.
