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.

Initial post 24 JUN by odinthor

The somewhat bizarre (for a Tea) parentage given by the Rosenlexikon seems to derive from its mixing up the HP 'Elie Lambert' with the Tea 'Mme. Elie Lambert', and being a bit imaginative to boot. The Journal des Roses tells us, in 1889 (p. 120): "Our collaborator Jean Sisley lets us know that Mr. Elie Lambert, rosieriste of Lyon, has bred a very pretty Tea Rose that he intends to release to commerce this autumn under the name of 'Madame Elie Lambert'. Here's the description of this newcomer: 'From the Tea 'Anna Olivier' fertilized by the Tea 'Souvenir de Paul Neyron'. Very floriferous, in panicles of 4 to 7 flowers, well-held, very double, globular, very well formed. The outer petals, for about half their length, are yellowish white; those of the center are a beautiful light pink. A most remarkable variety, and distinct, because of the two quite separate nuances. The plant is vigorous without being climbing."
