'Lady Trent' 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.

Lady Trent was probably Florence Anne Rowe, born at St Helier on the Isle of Jersey. She married Jesse Boot, founder of the Boots chemist chain, who was made Baron Trent in 1929. Both were generous philanthropists. Lady Trent was much more “social” than he, and when he died in 1931 she spent most of her time at Millbrook House on Jersey and at her house in the south of France.
Lady Trent was on Jersey during the German occupation of the Channel Islands 1940–45. She became well known for her public opposition to the German regime.
Pedro Dot dedicated many roses to rich philanthropists, but he also dedicated a number to conspicuous anti-Fascists safely outside Franco’s Spain. The date of ‘Lady Trent’, 1940, suggests her rose was in the latter group.
