'Comte Taverna' 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.

You give Pernet-Ducher as a possible raiser of this variety and you may be right. But a rose with this name was reported to be in Casoretti's garden in Desio (see Perpenti's 1842 "Descrizioni della citta' di Monza etc.") and Nickels lists 'Graf Taverna' in Heft3 p56 of "Cultur, Benennung und Beschreibung der Rosen" of 1845. Conte Carlo Taverna had a garden at Novedrate near Desio which was said to have been inspired by Casoretti.

Thank you! We have added the earlier hybrid china 'Comte Taverna', which was possibly already around in 1811.

Thank you very much. I hope I don't seem too pernickety but what is the 1811 reference?

No problem. The "Nomenclature de tous les Noms de Roses" refers to the "Almanach des Roses" by Guerrapain, which is from 1811. However, I do not have this publication and cannot check.
