Pierre-Antoine-Marie Crozy
Pierre Antoine Marie Crozy (1831-1903) lso called Crozy aîné—French for "elder"was a nineteenth-century French rose breeder. He was a partner in the French firm, Avoux & Crozy, La Guillotière, Lyon, actively breeding roses from the 1850s to 1860s. From the early 1860s until his death in 1903 he was also hybridising '' Canna'' species, and introduced many hundreds of new cultivars. The largest Canna Group today is still called the ''Crozy Group'', and many of those cultivars are still being raised. The most famous of the cultivars introduced by Crozy was Canna 'Madame Crozy', and this was later used by both Carl Sprenger in Italy and Luther Burbank in California to cross with the species Canna ''flaccida'' to produce the first of the Italian Group Cannas. Crozy was succeeded by his son, Michel Crozy (1871-1908).

Canna Flaccida
''Canna flaccida'' is a species of the ''Canna'' genus, a member of the family Cannaceae. The species is indigenous to the wetlands of the south-central and south-eastern United States from Texas to South Carolina. It is also reportedly naturalized in India, the Philippines, Mexico, Panama, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Peru and southern Brazil. ''Canna flaccida'' was a parent to many of the early-hybridised cannas originally known as orchid flowered cannas, but now correctly named as Italian Group cannas. It grows well as a water canna. Originally described by the early American explorer, William Bartram, when he found these plants blooming near the rivers of coastal Georgia. The seed floats down the rivers and becomes easily established on shorelines. Introduced to England in 1788. ''Canna flaccida'' is a perennial growing to . It is hardy to zone 10 and is frost tender. In the north latitudes it is in flower from August to October, and the seeds ripen in October. The flowers ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rose Breeders
A rose is either a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus ''Rosa'' (), in the family Rosaceae (), or the flower it bears. There are over three hundred species and tens of thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Their flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. Etymology The name ''rose'' comes from Lati ...

List Of Canna Hybridists
The first hybridisation of Cannas was performed in 1848, and since then many Canna hybridizers have made their contribution to the genus over the centuries. This is a date ordered list of those people and their brief stories. 1848 Théodore Année A retired French diplomatic agent in America, the gentleman gardener Monsieur Théodore Année of Passy, France, brought back from his travels the seeds of several Canna species, and in 1848 he crossed C. ''glauca'' with C. ''indica'', so producing the first known and recorded Canna hybrid, C. x ''annaei'' André, now referred to as C. 'Annei'. Année was rapidly joined by many other enthusiasts and professional horticulturists as Canna hybrids enjoyed rapid popularity in France. In 1866 he retired to Nice, France, and from there released his last recorded cultivar, C. 'Prémices de Nice'. 1850s Jean Liabaud A resident of Lyon, France. 1850s E.

List Of Canna Species
''Canna (plant), Canna'' species have been categorised by two different taxonomists in the course of the last three decades. They are Paulus Johannes Maria Maas, Paul Maas, from the Netherlands and Nobuyuki Tanaka from Japan.Tanaka, N. (2001) Taxonomic revision of the family Cannaceae in the New World and Asia. Both reduced the number of species from the 50-100 that had been accepted previously, and assigned most to being synonym (taxonomy), synonyms. Inevitably, there are some differences in their categorisations, and the individual articles on the species describe the differences. The reduction in the number of species is also confirmed by work done by Kress and Prince at the Smithsonian Institution, however, this only covers a subset of the species range.Prince, Linda M.* and W. John Kress. Smithsonian Institution Tanaka's 2001 ''Taxonomic revision of the family Cannaceae in the New World and Asia'' is one source of species names, allied with the proposal to conserve the name ...

List Of Canna Cultivars
This list of ''Canna'' cultivars is a gallery of named cultivars of plants in the genus '' Canna'' that are representative of the various ''Canna'' cultivar groups (i.e., groups of very similar cultivars). Names of cultivars conform to the rules of the International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS) Commission for Nomenclature and Cultivar Registration, as laid down in the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants. They are registered with an International Cultivar Registration Authority (ICRA), which for the genus ''Canna'' is the Royal General Bulbgrowers' Association of the Netherlands (KAVB). Foliage group Cultivars, F1 and F2 hybrids, normally with small species-like flowers, but grown principally for their foliage. This group has occasionally been referred to as the Année Group, after the originator, Théodore Année, the world's first ''Canna'' hybridizer. However, the use of an accented character in the name creates problems, both in pronunciatio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Luther Burbank
Luther Burbank (March 7, 1849 – April 11, 1926) was an American botanist, horticulturist and pioneer in agricultural science. He developed more than 800 strains and varieties of plants over his 55-year career. Burbank's varied creations included fruits, flowers, grains, grasses, and vegetables. He developed (but did not create) a spineless cactus (useful for cattle-feed) and the plumcot. Burbank's most successful strains and varieties included the Shasta daisy, the fire poppy (note possible confusion with the California wildflower, '' Papaver californicum'', which is also called a fire poppy), the "July Elberta" peach, the "Santa Rosa" plum, the "Flaming Gold" nectarine, the "Wickson" plum (named after the agronomist Edward J. Wickson), the freestone peach, and the white blackberry. A natural genetic variant of the Burbank potato with russet-colored skin later became known as the russet Burbank potato. This large, brown-skinned, white-fleshed potato has become the world's ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Carl Ludwig Sprenger
__NOTOC__ Carl Ludwig Sprenger was a German botanist, born on 30 November 1846 at Güstrow, Mecklenburg and died 13 December 1917 on the island of Corfu (Kérkyra). Sprenger lived in Naples from 1877 to 1907, and was a partner in the horticultural house of Dammann & Co. of San Giovanni a Teduccio, Naples, Italy. David Fairchild praised Sprenger, "a brilliant botanist who had established a nursery ... he was one of those real plantsmen who both know the names of plants and how to grow them ... He enthusiastically collected seeds for botanical gardens and freely gave of his knowledge to others ... The eruption of Vesuvius on 4 April 1906 buried his plants under volcanic ash, destroying hundreds of his best specimens."David Fairchild, - The World was My Garden In 1907, Kaiser Wilhelm (William II) purchased Achilleion, a palace in Corfu. Sprenger became supervisor of the Kaiser's garden. He was also so responsible for the building of the bridge that led to the beach. It was then na ...
