Rose Nomenclature 
By the Editor
As no doubt some of our members are aware, a very unsatisfactory situation with respect to Rose names has arisen within the past few years due to the practice of certain large commercial firms in re-naming Roses of European origin, contrary to and in defiance of "International Rules of Botanical Nomenclature" and its supplementary schedule known as Appendix VII (Nomenclature of Garden Plants).
Valid Name: Mrs. H. A. Verschuren
Re-christened: R.M.S. Queen Mary

Dr. A. S. Thomas.  An exhibitor's Opinion. 
Mrs. Verschuren: Possibly the most beautiful Rose I have ever seen, but it dies out so badly that when my present plants have gone I will not replant it.

p59.  O. R. Fitzhardinge. New Garden, New Roses
Everyone that does not know Mrs. Verschuren had better telephone for one.

p100.  Miss Marjorie Walker, Cooma NSW. 
Mrs. Verschuren is another favourite, every bloom a rich glorious shade held erect on firm stems. I only wish the growth were a little more vigorous, as it is only moderate. 

p109.  Mr. S. J. Bisdee.  Tasmanian Notes.
Mrs. Verschuren.—A first-class, healthy thing of great beauty. Very vigorous in growth.

p122.  Mr. S. J. Bisdee.  Tasmanian Rose Notes
Mrs. Verschuren. This gave a splendid first year performance, and seems an acquisition. The bloom is of fine form, large and of a coppery-orange-pink blend; very lovely. Fine strong growth.

p126.  Mr R. T. Hamilton, Vic.  Picking Winners Among the New Roses
Mrs. Verschuren.-This variety has grown well, but is not nearly so vigorous as the preceding [Silver Jubilee] one. Almost every bloom has been shapely, and the colour is good.  I am hoping for great things from this Rose next spring.

p99.  S. R. Bird.  Notes From Auckland.
Mrs. Verschuren appears to have the handy constitution of the Columbia family, and the blooms are well formed, being rich, orange salmon-pink.

p114.  T. G. Stewart, Vic. New Roses That Have Proved Themselves. 
Mrs. Verschuren, or R.M.S. Queen Mary.-In my opinion this is the best of the 1938 introductions. Although thorny, the growth is good and the colour and formation of blooms are excellent. Practically every bloom is up to exhibition standard.

p132.  Mr John Poulsen, NZ.  Canterbury Roses.
Mrs. Verschuren.- Fairly strong growth, producing lovely coloured and well shaped flowers. This Rose is a decided gem.

p135.  Grantham, Murrumbeena, Victoria.  Good and Not So Good.
Mrs. Verschuren.- Good, erect growth with just satisfactory foliage.  Floriferous, good shape and colour, which is deeper than its parent, Mrs. Sam McGredy.
