John Starnes died
Re: John Starnes died
Henry, as I wrote on the Gardeweb, that is crushing news. Unbelievable really. He was such a kind man who on occasion freely shared his knowledge with me and many others. His roses will be a lasting legacy and I'll cherish Gold Blush all the more, but this was a life take way too soon.
Re: John Starnes died
Thank you for posting this Henry.

"we will hopefully be able to transplant many of his plants to a new, publicly accessible Memorial Garden in his honor."
