"Souvenir de Babuña" rose Description
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.

Patent status unknown (to HelpMeFind).
Notes:
Arturo Tara, advises: “Souvenir de Babuña” is a found rose xdamascena brought around 1904/05 by Mrs Vidal's grandmother from Ukraine where it was considered a wild species rose, presumably growing there from Roman times. Her grandparents emigrated to the valley of the Rio Negro and homesteaded in a farm in the island of Choele Choel near the town of Pomona. Mrs Vidal found this rose growing in her ancestor's farm about 20 years ago and was able to collect a suckered root cutting from which she now multiplies it. (Babuña means Granny in Ukrainian).

Mariano Saviello states that this found rose has been ID'd as the damask 'Duc de Cambridge'.
