Thanks to all the reporters who contributed to the RIR for the year 2002. The more reports, the better the result numbers. We had thirty reporters this year. The numbers generated by the RIR is what determines the rose variety ratings in the ARS Buyer’s Guide. We need more reporters in the Yankee District. Look for the 2003 RIR list in the ARS Magazine and be a reporter! If you are a contributor to the Yankee District RIR in 2002 your name will be in the “hermetically sealed envelope” at the District Convention and eligible to win the prize. Also, all reporters will receive a copy of the report in the mail. Roses with five or more reporters were: Betty Boop; Crimson Bouquet; Andrea Stelzer; Barbara Streisand; Diana, Princess of Wales; Gemini; LeAnn Rimes; Rino Hugo; Signature; Veteran’s Honor; Fourth of July; Constellation and Knockout. The RIR comments show some evidence of the question in the article, “ARE ROSE BUSHES LIKE VINTAGE WINE?”
