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 would like to know can anyone supply a reference to support the statement I've read that Graham Thomas disparaged 'Goethe.'

'Goethe' is not mentioned in either of GST's books on Shrub roses.

Yes, that's correct, but he did mention 'Goethe' in the GST 'Rose Book'

" A rather unsuccessful merging of two dissimilar parents, R. multiflora and a moss rose. Very vigorous, excessively prickly with much bristly brownish-green moss. Panicles of flowers are born freely; they are small semi-double or nearly single, light crimson to pink, with some scent. 5 feet"

I am intrigued: where does he say that? The "Rose Book" is a compendium of his two books on Shrub roses plus "Climbing Roses Old and New" and I could not find a mention in any of These.

Page 64. In between ‘Gloire des Mousseux’ and ‘Henri Martin’.

Those two are on p. 187 of "Old Shrub Roses" and there is nothing in between. It seems GST did not just add the 3 books, but revised the text. I will have to get the "Rose Book" too.

Here's the citation:

Thomas, Graham Stuart. The Graham Stuart Thomas Rose Book. Portland, Or.: Sagapress/Timber, 1994.

The ISBN is 0881922803. A note in the bibliographic record states, "Comprising The old shrub roses. Shrub roses of today. Climbing roses old and new; enlarged and thoroughly revised." The last statement suggests GST not only compiled three books but added material.
