Roy Hennessey
Roy Hennessey (1897–1968) was a nurseryman specializing in roses. He operated a commercial rose nursery in Scappoose, Oregon and published articles and books on rose production and cultivation.
==Biography==
Hennessey operated a commercial rose nursery from the 1930s to the 1960s. He published a column on rose cultivation in the Oregon Journal, starting in July 28, 1940. He participated in the American Rose Society's Proof of the Pudding program, in which professional rosarians evaluated new rose cultivars, from 1934 to 1941. He self-published ''Hennessey on Roses'' in 1942. He presented himself as self-taught in rose cultivation through many years experience growing tens of thousands of roses, for sale, in display gardens, and in test gardens. His last nursery catalog appeared in 1963.〔
One of the controversies surrounding Hennessey concerned his promotion of the dark red Australian rose 'Nigger Boy', hybridized by George Robert Knight of New South Wales. He planted this rose in his test gardens in 1941 and carried it in his catalog through 1962. In response to pressure to not sell this rose due to its offensive name, he took out a full-page ad in ''American Rose'' magazine in 1951, advertising his nursery as "The Home of Nigger Boy".〔
