Editor. Mr. Francis L. Riethmuller who receives the coveted award (the T. A. Stewart Memorial Award for 1959) has devoted much time and energy to roses since his retirement, fifteen years ago. He has done much hybridising and has distributed some very worthy varieties, as well as lesser-known varieties such as ...... and Alma.
