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.

I was poking around on the Loubert website when I discovered this beauty, then looked up in Modern Roses 12 to see what it was classed as. Was surprised to find the color tag as "or", I figured maybe mauve, maybe deep pink, red, but definitely not orange!?

The rose in commerce is probably not the original 'Chénédole', as the darker stripes on the petals are not mentioned in any of the descriptions of this rose. I have a hunch it is actually 'Triomphe d'Amiens'. In any case, orange-red is not correct. I believe the person who classed it many years ago looked at the references which said vermiliion or cochenille-red, which made it "or" for him.

Ah this is interesting, yes it would be nice to correct things like this! Thanks for the info I am studying the Gallicas lately and have designed a huge garden which should take about 5 years to complete!

We are constantly revising our listings according to newest knowledge; you know, however, how difficult it is to make judgements on identification. The issue is that Europe was ravaged during two Worls Wars and a lot of roses and information was lost. When after ca. 1947 interest in OGR restarted, a substantial amount of roses were misidentified by well-meaning rose aficionados.
