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.

location 118/1, R. centifolia 'Minor' hort, 'POMPON DES DAMES?, 'PETITE DE HOLLANDE', GALLICANAE, Netherlands, ca. 1800, soft pink, well double, fragrant, medium size, bushy, branched, 1 m, light-medium green medium size, matte-glossy, 5 leaflets

De Bordeaux (R. centifolia minor). Flower rose pink, darker in centre, much cupped, in bunches from four to six, almost as large as the old Cabbage. Pedicel and hip smooth. Calyx long, narrow, glanded, tips beyond bud. Leaves small for size of flower, bright green, paler and downy below. Wood pale red, very short straight thorns. This is a dwarf but not a miniature Rose, as Redoute, whose description I quote, says, its first flowers are often almost as large as the old Cabbage Rose. It makes suckers freely and these must be removed annually or flowers will decrease in size. There were many forms of this known in Redoute's day, White, Foliacee, Kingston, Mossy, Early, Des Princes and Rose fonce. I have not yet been able to find any of these, but hope that inclusion here may perhaps bring some to light. It is figured by Redoute and had as synonym 'Gros pompom de Bordeaux, Pompom a grands fleurs, a centifeuilles nain'.
