Does anyone happen to know who or what E. Veyrath Hermanos was? I like to know something about the person or event that prompted the hybridizer to name a rose after him/her/it. Thanks!

See By Any Other Name March 19, on the World Federation of Rose Societies website, for an article on the rose and the Veyrat Brothers nursery, for which it was named. worldrose.org/assets/wfrs-heritage-no-19-march-2019.pdf

When I do a Search/Lookup on 'William R. Smith,' I get the error message "We did not find any plants matching your search name." However, when I Googled the rose name, it led me to the correct page at helpmefind! That page is http://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=2.6582, but you can't access it from within helpmefind.

The search engine doesn't cope well with punctuation. William R Smith finds it.

Entry for 'Royal Celebration' says parentage is unknown. Tom Carruth, the hybridizer, says it's (Stephen’s Big Purple x International Herald Tribune) x {International Herald Tribune x [Zorina x (Rosa soulieana x Europeana)] x Sunsprite}

The website given doesn't seem to be valid any longer (the domain is for sale), but I did find another website for Lee Sherman's High Desert Garden: http://www.highdesertrosegarden.com/
