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.

SÉGUIER Robert (?), 1853 (?). ...the breeder and year bred of this variety is based on information of the rosaries of L'Haÿ and Sangerhausen...and the Nomenclature of Simon and Cochet (1906), as well as various catalogues of the end of the XIXth century and early XXth century. In any case, the origin of this variety seems subject to caution....The catalogues of Moreau-Robert describe "Seguier" as...."6 to 7 cm, full, slaty purple, amaranth, more vivid at the centre, spotted with red and violet". It is thus possible that Robert, in 1853, has taken up [the name of an earlier rose by Vibert] to name a new variety he has bred. ...Although the descriptions speak of a "Full" rose, the specimen at L'Haÿ is not that at all. The uncertainty is complete: for this reason we do not propose any description.
