Ajman 1972 Roses & Flowers Sets

Starting a new thread to continue this discussion.

OK, Rod. Maybe this will help with sorting out the roses. Photos are a hodge-podge from around the Internet. Also, there are a couple of flower sets that aren't part of the rose series that may contain roses. I included them at the bottom. If you have any that aren't shown here, let me know and I'll track them down.

Also, I reduced the size of some of the photos for presentation here. It you need the larger versions, let me know.

Wow! Wow!
Postmaster, that is incredible !
That is going to take some time to sink in.
You are some sort of wizard.

I'll work on Ajman tomorrow, and post my findings.

Accept a Gold Logie....

Irregularity.
MiNr. 2138-2143 (European Flowers)

We may have an interloper here, or, Michel is in error.
The top left hand stamp is 1¼ Riyals, not 1½ Riyals
and "Aster" does not seem to match web images of this genus.

Any gardeners can correct moi.

Michel does not list 1¼ Riyal in this group.

(Gee, I dislike this new HP cordless keyboard, so much re-typing required.)

Rod,

Has to be an error in the catalog. I noted a couple others over the course of this series, particularly in the flower names.

The stamp definitely belongs in that set:

Genius !
If we manage to get them all, I'll email Michel with Images and Catalogue numbers, see if they wish to include in next edition.

Wow, Postmaster and Rodney!

Thanks very much! I also have some of this series, and I noticed what seemed like inconsistencies or, at least, ambiguities in the German-language catalog, and set them aside to deal with sometime later. I haven't gotten back around to them yet, but really appreciate this reference! (There are a couple of other series I'll also have some questions about.)

A masterful job, PMGS!

So the flowers on 2138-2143 are as follows:

75dh - Rose
1R - Coreopsis tinctoria
1.25R - Cactus Dahlia
2R - Rose
2.50R - Iris (single orange flower)
2.50R - Aster (3 red flowers)

I could not find a reference to a Gertrude Gregory Rose online so I'm not sure which color rose is that one or if the name is even correct. Asters are just one of many daisy-like flower species so that stamp may not actually picture asters.

Just an update from my end.
I have mislaid my stash of roses,
Perhaps I thought I would never ID them.
They are packed away I presume in one of the numerous boxes I have.
Sorry.
Shall continue when they decide to be re discovered.
