'Comte d'Eu' rose Reviews & Comments
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.

The Florist, 1: 37 (1848)
Mr. Rivers
At present I know of only one other variety equal to the above as a Christmas Rose, the Hybrid Perpetual, Comte d'Eu: this as a border Rose is superior to Gloire de Rosamène, its flowers are more double, of a finer shape, and nearly as brilliant in colour; it forms a dwarf bush, and may have the same treatment as the above; it will not, however, give so abundant a crop of winter flowers. In fact, at present I know of no Rose equal to Gloire de Rosamène for blooming in winter. In addition to this valuable quality, I had almost forgotten to add that its flowers, although almost odourless under the bright sun of June, in winter exhale a delicate and agreeable perfume.

Manual or Roses, p. 119 (1846)
William Prince
Among the new varieties one of the most beautiful is Comte d'Eu; it is, strictly speaking, a double dwarf Gloire de Rosamène, from which it was raised, and is a brilliant-colored and fine variety.
