Notes:

HelpMeFind member Intan Kallus advises that Frans Buskermolen found this rose, a sport of ‘Dr A. J. Verhage’, in a row of ‘Dr A. J. Verhage’ roses, raised it and named it after his son, Pierre Buskermolen. He never registered this find and had not ever dealt with Brundretts but had given budwood to another nursery in Victoria that propagated some of his plants and another one in South Australia.
