Notes:

• “Dr. Dennison Morey (1923-2012), who was the chief hybridizer for Jackson & Perkins from 1951 to 1962, hybridized and introduced such roses as ‘King’s Ransom’, ‘South Seas’, ‘Proud Land’ and ‘Popcorn’.
  
  
• Dr. Morey was a living history book of information and views of rose hybridizers who dominated the rose world for the prior 50 years.” --- www.facebook.com/BengalRoseSociety/posts/-a-history-of-rose-hybridizing-in-october-of-1989-american-rose-published-an-art/1270430759659719
