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.

Hybride remontant. Abacy. Goudrau 1847.
Arbuste très vigoureux; rameaux forts, munis d'aiguillons forts, très recourbés, bruns olivâtres; feuillage vert noirâtre au dessus, vert beaucoup plus clair en dessous; fleur très belle, bien faite, forme de calice, pleine, très serrée; bouton très beau, presque noir à l'extérieur; coloris de la rose pourpre velouté avec reflet brun. Très sensible aux rayons solaires; ils brunissent et brûlent les pétales. Bonne variété à forcer.

Translation: Hybrid Perpetual. Abacy. Goudrau 1847.
A very vigorous shrub with strong canes armed with strong prickles that are very hooked and an olive-brown color; the foliage is a blackish green on top and a much lighter green beneath; the flower is very lovely, well-formed, shaped like a chalice, full, very compact; the bud is very fine, nearly balck on the outside; the color of a velvety purple-pink with brown highlights. Very sensitive to sun exposure which causes the petals to brown and burn. A good variety for forcing.
