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.

Louis Philippe Before 1836. Habit: not as upright as the gallica type; prickles and bristles. Foliage: medium green, abundant and healthy; leaflets mostly rounded, sometimes only 3 in number. Bloom: medium size, well rounded, double, cupped; petals quartered; some yellow-green stamens. Colour: cherry-red stained mauve; more violet on the periphery. fragrance: Weak. Origins are not very clear, as there are numerous varieties carrying this royal name. Thus, in his catalogue of 1843-1844, Van Houtte proposes three gallicas called 'Louis-Philippe'. At the Rosaries of L'haÿ and Sangerhausen 'Louis-Philippe' is attributed to Hardy..and dated 1824: we have not found the source of this information. ...Actually Hardy, in his catalogue of the Roseraie du Luxemburg, which he put together towards 1852-1860, does not mention any variety of this name....The first mention of this variety is in the catalogue of Vibert of 1836, i.e. under the reign of this same Louis-Philippe; it is described there as "vivid pink".
