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.

"Carlsruhe Cemetery Maria Bruhn" is on plot 130 which is the grave of Maria Dorothea Sophia Bruhn (nee Pluckhahn) who died 25th June 1891. There are two identical roses on this double grave. The other half of the double grave is plot 143 which is the grave of her husband Johann Friedrich Christian Bruhn who died 8th December 1893.
Similar to 'Devoniensis' in colour but with flatter flower form. 46 petals, long spidery stamens, small pistils, pink stripe/blush on some petals. Borne in clusters of up to 8 with some being single blooms. - written 24th December 2000
While I thought initially it was a tea it has the feeling of a bourbon such as 'Souvenir de la Malmaison' with similar dieback to some stems. It is not a large bush in the cemetery but it has the classic vase shape naturally.
While it does not have a strong perfume its continuous blooming is a real bonus.
Leaves have a leaden greyish green sheen which stands out from most roses with glossy foliage.

Pat, have you ever considered ‘Mademoiselle Blanche Lafitte’ (Bourbon, Pradel, 1851)?

I particularly recall the stout growth of "Carlesruhe Cemetery Maria Bruhn" and note that 'Mrs. Maynard Sinton' 1909 appears to have had similar features.
