I am looking for the (business)relation between Blaby Rose Gardens and Verschuren rosenurseries in The Netherlands in the 1950-1960s. How come several Verschuren roses were Blaby named: Blaby Monarch, Blaby Courier, Blaby Jubilee?
Blaby Rose Gardens was managed by a Dutchman, Bernard Hanraads, which explains the business relations with de Ruiter and Verschuren. We added some notes under this listing. A Bernard Hanraads is still on linkedin.com, possibly a descendant. You might try to contact him.
I have a policereport on Mr. and Mrs. Biesheuvel (owners of Blaby Rose Gardens) getting killed in a carcrash in The Netherlands on 16 april 1960. Former employees speak of 'The Manager of Blaby Rose Gardens when I worked there was a man called Jim Chamney' and 'the manager was Mr Walter J Clark'. So....quite some names to check, although the first obviously is not to be consulted
