Notes:
  • “In Dr. Keith Zary’s time as a hybridizer, he developed 9 more AARS winners, until the program went bankrupt….All-America Rose Selections (AARS) was a rose testing program that spun off from the American Rose Society in the 1930s. There were 20 test gardens all across these great United States, and rose hybridizers could submit their best roses for the two year trial at a rather large price….In order for any rose to win the coveted AARS prize, that rose had to be outstanding in all the test gardens across the country. AARS folded in 2010. ‘Moondance’, ‘Always and Forever’, ‘Veterans’ Honor’, ‘Crescendo’, ‘Pope John Paul II’ are some of his roses.”  ---  Marci Martin, “J&P Roses: A Brief Overview and Historical Discussion.”

  • ‘Moondance’, ‘Always and Forever’, ‘Veterans’ Honor’, ‘Crescendo’, and ‘Pope John Paul II’ are some of his roses, as well.
