Each year a "Call for Nominations" is printed in American Rose, and the ARS Miniature/Mini-Flora Rose Committee determines the honoree(s) from the nominations submitted. Since 1998, 19 miniature roses have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. This year more than 730 nominations were received from 174 rosarians. Seventy different varieties were nominated. One variety, 'Pierrine', received almost three times the number of nominations (111) as the next highest variety, and was named on 63 percent of the nomination forms. On Sept. 16, 2007, at the ARS Fall National Convention in St. Louis, 'Pierrine' was announced as the newest member of the Miniature Rose Hall of Fame.
