"St. Leonard's Noisette" rose Description

My HMF:

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.

Notes:

"Multiple collections from old sites help tell us that our recollections were commercially distributed or at least widely handed around, and at one time named. 'St. Leonard's Noisette' etc. for example has a pattern of Maryland, Cincinnati, OH, La Mesa, Sonora, and Nevada City, CA. That tells me it is not just a chance seedling." Fred Boutin

FB notes further that: " . . . the first collection I made of this rose was in the early 70's in Constance Virtue's garden in La Mesa, CA. She had brought cuttings from her father's garden in Cincinnati, as "Aimee Vibert", which of course it wasn't. John MacGregor, Joyce and Virginia thought it was 'Jeanne d'Arc' and alternately 'Miss Glegg'. Perhaps this last id is the most likely. (JeriJennings 5-1-07)
