QBARS - v17n4 Rhododendron Varieties Named by Rudolph Henny
Rhododendron Varieties Named by Rudolph Henny
The following list was compiled from the names appearing in American Rhododendron Society publications. Column 3 indicates the first date of publication, in the Bulletin, as indicated by month and year, or in "Rhododendrons 1956," indicated by R56. The variety names first published in July 1963, and those "to be published" were submitted by Mrs. Henny. It is noteworthy that the parentage is known for all but a very few of this long list.
There is a bit of confusion about the variety 'George Grace', originally published as 'Grace.' However there is another 'Grace' registered under the name of Rothschild, carrying the date 1939. Perhaps that, coupled with the fact the variety was named in honor of George Grace anyway caused him to make the change before it was distributed, and so it appears in the International Register as 'George Grace.'
