Why is it called the Combined Rose List?
In the 1970s, Irvington, New York rosarian Bev Dobson began publishing three separate lists of interest to other rose lovers: Roses in Commerce, Rose Registrations Update, and Hard-to-Find Roses & Where to Find Them. In 1980 she combined these three lists into one booklet: the Combined Rose List. CRL has been published every year since then, growing over the years from a 50-page booklet to a 272-page softcover book.

Does the Combined Rose List contain pictures?
No. Combined Rose List is a 6" X 9" perfect bound book printed in concise but clear (8 pt.) type. It weighs just under one pound. Imagine a dictionary listing all of the roses known to be in commerce and you'll have the general idea. All rose names (including synonyms) are fully cross-referenced in one easy-to-use alphabetical listing.

When will the next edition of the Combined Rose List appear?
