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.

"Purple, black shading, medium size full." This is the description given in Doll: Der Rosen-Garten p.351. Singer (p128) refers to Mazeraty as "grenadine", while Biederfield's 1847 Das Buch der Rosen (p529) has "medium, lightly filled, loose form, dark purple; for effect on lawn with mass planting."

I'm not sure I phased that well, just to clarify, do the reference books cited include photos for any of these references ? Thanks.

It's just past midnight and my brain is obviously not working well. Do you want me to send you photographs of the pages I have referred to. Obviously I can do that, though all the sources I have referred to in this comment are freely downloadable. Let me know if you want me to send these pages.

No, it's just that we specifically note in our references when the cited reference includes a photo o0f the plant. I take it all these DO include a photo of the rose in question ?

No, Biedenfeld has only a few engravings, as most of the rose books in the 19th century.

Since there are no indications, it must be borne in mind that the Rosetum Gallicum reference may not refer to this rose but to the yellow tea rose in Tagliabue's 1840 catalogue called Marzorati.
