Please use 2007 March Rose list. Thank You, Ron S

Note: FYI: Posted on January 31, 2011 supplement to ARS Official Rose List to "Rose" Group and to Garden Web members. I noted that "Mary Pickersgill" is listed as single (4-8) petals in the 2011 January/February Rose magazine, while MR 12 database list it as having 26-40 petals. Purpose: to inform ARS, judges and exhibitors of a mistake in an ARS official judging document. Rather than ARS acknowledging an error, compounded the mistake by posting on its website "News" section, (Corrected Jan/Feb 2011 Rose Registrations.) "Due to a system upgrade in the publishing department, a font compatibility issue caused several squares to print in the 2011 January/February "Rose" Registrations. Please see the Resources section under "American Rose" to download a corrected PDF. We apologize for the inconvenience." Yes several squares were filled in, even though it had nothing to do with actual judging, but not a word that it also changed "Mary Pickersgill" petal count to full (26/40) petals in the revised 2011 January/February "Rose" Registrations. While the "News" section is not considered an official judging document, by noting corrections to 2011 Jan/Feb "Rose Registrations, ARS sneakily filled its obligation of notifying the public that "Mary Pickersgill" has a changed petal count. The "Mary Pickersgill" incident is a typical example of ARS twisting the facts. To learn more, go to ARS IRAR-R/ Rose registrations, information listed is that Mary Pickersgill was registered on 10-13-2010, being in bold print indicating a change accrued in the previous 4 months. Next try ARS MR 12 database, use the Search box to locate "Mary Pickersgill" listed as full (26/40) petals, with the latest update of 10-21-2010. After completing this circle several times, realize a change was made, but when? Approximately 18 months ago a similar issue accursed with "Renegade" registered in 2008 was listed as a single when it�s a double. Finally it was changed to the proper petal count in ARS 2010 Official List. When the 2011 handbook was published, "Renegade" again was listed as a single, this time without noting a correction to the 2011 Handbook, in MR 12 database. *As previous posted, ARS is not ready for Modern Technology.* 2-4-2011
