For the admin, Here's a photo of Mrs. Cristel Steppuhn Vidal that could be added to her bio as a breeder. I wouldn't know how to move it there, though.

We don't have any roses bred by Mrs. Vidal, so we presume you mean to add this photo to her nursery (Rosales Cristel Vidal) page?
The easiest way is for the photograher to add it again. However, Mrs. Vidal has previously added a photo of herself in the fields of the nursery.

Thank you Patricia,
I've already uploaded a first rose here at HMF: "Cristina Vidal". see: http://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=2.81415 I'm trying to get as much information possible about Mrs. Vidal and her roses. She is an elderly lady by now and has bred quite a few roses. ( I've recorded names of at least 20) She is not fluent in English and didn't ever learn how to use PCs. So I'm trying to help out. I can't ask her to do posting or uploading herself. Normally, a breeder would provide her bio directly, but in her case I need to act as her secretary. She's willing to provide whatever is needed. It will take time only. I've ordered as many roses as I could from her own breeding, so sometime by the end of this year I might have enough pics to post as well. I will also try to locate sources of others that may still be extant but no longer kept in her nursery. I correspond directly with another daughter of Mrs. Vidal and try to fill out as much as possible what Mrs. Vidal remembers of her breeding. She learnt rose breeding from her father Mr Steppuhn who emigrated early 20 th century from Germany. I thought that her solitary work ought to be preserved to the world at large. Thank you again for helping me out.

You are doing wonderful work, Arturo.
I have now opened a breeder's page for Mrs. Cristel Steppuhn Vidal.
