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.

H. R. Darlington: A Study of Form in the Rose
p69. Grand Duc Adolphe de Luxembourg, which appeared in 1892, created quite a sensation, as it was grown in the old Royal Horticultural Society's garden at Chiswick. If we except La France it was perhaps one of the first Roses of the bi-colour type, having rosy-white petals with a brick-red reverse. Its inveterate habit of hanging its head has caused it to be superseded, but its form was quite worth notice.
p74. Ibid. ... Then following the same line to Mrs. E. G. Hill, a decorative Rose of the most beautiful form, and the culmination of the type of Grand Duc A. de Luxembourg, but superior to that Rose in holding its head erect.

La rose représentée ci-contre par notre dessin colorié, est une des belles et nombreuses obtentions de la maison Soupert et Notting, du Grand-Duché du Luxembourg, qui l'a mise au commerce en novembre 1891.
Issue de Triomphe de la Terre des Roses X Madame de Leobensels, la rose Grand-Duc Adolphe de Luxembourg forme un arbuste vigoureux, florifère, donnant des boutons bien faits et suffisamment allongés pour être employés dans la confection des bouquets. La fleur très grande, presque pleine, à larges pétales, est rose brique clair à l'intérieur, à revers laque géranium brillant. Ces deux couleurs distinctes donnent à la fleur un effet magnifique et absolument particulier.
Nous recommandons beaucoup cette rose qui a du reste été récompensée par une médaille d'or, lors de sa mise au commerce; elle doit figurer dans toutes les collections.
<i>Translation: Rose Grand-Duc Adolphe de Luxembourg (Hybrid Tea)
The rose represented in our colored illustration is one of the fine and numerous obtentions of the House of Soupert and Notting, of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg that was introduced to commerce in November 1891.
Issue of Triomphe de la Terre des Roses X Madame de Leobensels, the rose Grand-Duc Adolphe de Luxembourg forms a vigorous and floriferous plant, yielding well-formed buds that are sufficiently long to be used to create bouquets. The very large flower, nearly full, with substantial petals, is a light brick-pink in the center, with a petal reverse of a glossy, bright geranium. These two distinct colors give the bloom a magnificent and absolutely distinct effect.
We highly recommend this rose, which has receoved a gold medal at its introduction. It deserves to appear in all collections.</i>
