'Duchesse d'Auerstädt' rose Reviews & Comments
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.

In Australia if you order Marechal Niel now, D d'A is almost certainly what you'll get, if you get a climber. If you get a bush, it's probably "Fake Perle"..

I wonder if admin would consider a spelling variant that does not require typing the a-umlaut. For some of us this always requires a Google search and a rather unnatural finger-dance on the keyboard. Furthermore, once one has typed Auerstadt without the umlaut, type-ahead seems not to let you simply truncate the name to Auer and let the lovely Perl software do the heavy lifting - it just keeps typing the wrong thing.
For a lesser rose, I'd hesitate to make the request. But if this rose is anything like as pretty as its photos here and at Vintage Gardens suggest, it deserves to get out more.
Thank you much for your kind consideration.

There are four different ways to search for a rose in the HMF database, with three of them allowing you to search for a rose without having to spell out the whole name of the rose.
When you open the rose search feature, click on the red HELP button and each type of search is described in detail.
Smiles,

You'll find HMF's search facility does not require you use the non-US characters. Just search for the "englishized" spelling and it will work fine.

Thank You both!
The difficulty I encountered must have arisen from something else, perhaps the apostrophe or the case of the d before it. Whatever the cause, I found I got it right rather quickly today - third or fourth try. This rose name proves to be a tricky one because there is no part of the name whose spelling I can type with complete certainty, except for Duc. And that produces quite a large number of results.

Yes, you can type part of the name and find the rose. Yesterday, before I pointed you to the various types of rose searches on HMF, I found your rose by typing "Auers" in the SEARCH field and then using the CONTAINS search. Your rose happened to be the first rose that came up in the search results.
BEST MATCHES does strip away the punctuation, but there is a lot of flexibility in the other searches and I like not having to type in the whole name of the rose, if it is a long one.
Smiles,
Lyn

If I type "Contains" Auerstadt or Auerstaedt, HMF still finds the correct rose.
