Notes:
  • “The founder of Meilland International SA, Antoine Meilland, survived service in World War I, and saw his first post-war rose crop wiped out by a beetle infestation. He recovered and eventually made his nursery the dominant force in the French rose growing business.  Having arranged the smuggling of a seedling out of France just prior to the German occupation in World War II, in 1945 Francis Meilland introduced one of the most famous of all roses, ‘Peace’. …Meilland holds more than 1,000 patents worldwide and owns 600 trademarks. They have a tradition of naming some of their roses in honor of a notable person or celebrity, both historical and present day.” --- (Wilkipedia), “Meilland International SA”, retrieved February 2021.
