need a list of All American Rose Selections winners

**C* U* <c*@gmail.com>**

I was trying to find a list of All American Rose Selections winners  
last night and couldn't. It seems that AARS is defunct.  Specifically  
I was trying to find out if 'Nearly Wild' ever won an AARS award. It  
was introduced in 1941, I believe.

The director of All America Selections sent me the following, which  
sheds some light on the situation:
"And here’s an article about the demise of AARS and the launch of  
American Garden Rose Selections:"
http://www.lsuagcenter.com/news_archive/2013/march/headline_news/Final-AllAmerica-Rose-winner-new-trials-will-include-AgCenter-garden-.htm

The article includes the following sentences,which might bring a smile  
to the face on anyone living in the northern half of the country.

"We also are fortunate that Louisiana has been selected as a test  
location. If roses can grow in the heat and humidity and disease- 
plagued growing conditions in south Louisiana, they can grow anywhere."
