Henry Cranke Andrews (fl. 1794-1830) was an English botanist and horticulturist. He is best known for his work on roses and his collection of botanical specimens. Andrews was born in England, but little is known about his early life. He became interested in botany and horticulture at a young age and began collecting and growing plants in his garden. Andrews's passion for roses led him to become an expert on the subject. He wrote several books and articles on roses, including "The Rose Cultivator's Guide," which was published in 1805 and is still considered a valuable resource for rose enthusiasts. In addition to his work on roses, Andrews collected and studied a wide range of plants from around the world. He amassed a large collection of botanical specimens, which he donated to the British Museum in London. Andrews was also a member of several botanical societies, including the Horticultural Society of London and the Linnean Society of London. He corresponded with other botanists and horticulturists from around the world and exchanged plant specimens with them. Andrews's contributions to the study of roses and botany were significant, and his legacy continues to be felt today. Many of the plants he collected and studied are still cultivated and appreciated by gardeners and botanists around the world.
