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.

My Mme Legras, if it is Mme Legras, is having a second flush, a bit over a month after the first.

Some of the hybrid albas do have some rebloom. Mme L. is believed my many experts to likely be an alba/noisette cross.

Vintage Garden reported that California growers of Alba semiplena and Alba maxima were seeing some fall rebloom.

Occasional rebloom on some albas is not altogether unheard of. OTOH, if you bought the everblooming Koningen von Denmark which was being sold in California nurseries in the late 90s, what you really got was a Portland, probably Jacques Cartier.

Thank you Nastarana. This is reassuring to know. It's very interesting and exciting to learn yet more that is special about a cherished rose.

The yellow flush to very fresh blooms also points to perhaps some Musk or China ancestry.

That would be a strong clue indeed. Could you point me in the direction of some books where this is discussed? The yellow in the petal bases of some Teas [via Chinas] has often been noted, but the Musk attributes knowledge is new to me. I'd like to learn more.

Have to find it , but on site bulbnrose.x10.mx

Moschata possess carotenes rather unlike other roses, when crossed with roses that lack certaain enzymes, the carotenes produce yellow pigment.
