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.
Book (Jul 1998) Page(s) 166. Includes photo(s). Reine de Perse Before 1825. Habit: upright shrub; 1 m high; medium to strong branches; some few prickles. Foliage: abundant; dark,; elliptical leaflets, waffled and thick, sometimes only 3 per leaf. Bloom: soliatry or in clusters of 2 or 3, rarely 4 blooms; medium to small, double, centre eye. Colour: light pink, ages to very pale, almost white. Fragrance: moderate. This variety is rarely cited in old sources. It appears from 1825 in the catalogues of Noisette, but without description. Van Houtte describes it in 1842 "medium, full, white, lightly flesh-coloured", which seems not a good description of the shade of this variety, which, although light, is clearly pink
