HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

‘Chaucer’/AUScer/AUScon: l’un des premiers rosiers anglais… Austin le considère un peu dépassé… fort bel arbuste pour petit jardin, avec ses bouquets légers de fleurs en coupe profonde, d’un rose un peu fané pâlissant sur les bords… fort parfum de myrrhe… feuillage vert mat, sensible à l’oïdium, cache des aiguillons rouges… Austin, 1970.

Varieties That Have Been Superseded.
English Roses have now been available for over twenty-five years and it is inevitable that some varieties in that time have been superseded by more recent introductions. I have no doubt that many people will protest that they have some of these varieties in their gardens, doing well and giving them much pleasure. In such cases, I would certainly recommend that they should retain and enjoy them.
Chaucer has fine, deeply cupped rose-pink flowers of classic Old Rose character. The growth is upright and bushy, with matt-textured leaves of a light to medium green. It sometimes suffers from mildew. 'Chaucer' was one of our earliest introductions. W 90cm (3ft) x H 100cm (3 1/2ft). Breeding 'Duchesse de Montebello' x 'Constance Spry'. Introduced 1970.
