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.

I am not sure if C. S. Shamburger, Winona is connected with the Thomasville Nursery who are listed as the discoverer. Refer the 1930 reference.	REPLY

The nursery is in Georgia, while the sport was discovered in Texas.	REPLY

Found an earlier 1929 reference stating Thomasville Nurseries as the breeder. It might be that this rose sported at different locations.	REPLY

Quite often, that's the case. Take a look at Cl. Columbia. Initially, there were five or six introducers of parallel sports. Cl. Iceberg originated for multiple sources, also. Some were only once flowering while others flowered virtually continuously. Early in its distribution, you had to make sure the one you purchased repeated or you could have easily obtained a once flowering plant. Now, virtually every Cl. Iceberg is from the heavily repeating version. It's entirely possible some were more fragrant than others and the more highly scented types have become the "standard". Unless printed documentation can be found to support it historically, we're left with only conjecture.
