[From A Rose Odyssey, by Jean Nicolas, 1937, p. 140:] A number of years ago H. A. Verschuren was a schoolteacher in the small town of Haps. He began to grow roses in his spare time. Eventually he turned professional, giving up teaching, and grew to be a very large operator. He took up hybridizing late in life and achieved a great success with Etoile de Hollande and Hortulanus Budde in 1919. Souvenir de H. A. Verschuren represents the culmination of his work.
