- **********«i»
We are interested in contacting the descendants of General Sir William Munro, CB, 39th Regiment, soldier and botanist, 1818-1880, who botanised in India, among other places, including Canada. While botanising in India he discovered a rose species called Rosa involucrata in Mysore State in Southern India. This rose species which is now called Rosa clinophylla, is a rose we are hybridising with and have released a number Hybrids with the International Rose Registration Authority. We have many seedlings that we are testing before release, and we would like to name one in membory of General William Munro. We would be delighted to get in touch with any of his descendants to inform them of our desire to name a rose in memory of their ancestor.«/i»
