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.

I'm wondering if this rose is near-thornless - is it a sport of the original Alberic Barbier, or of the later prickly substitute?

BABY ALBERIC (Chaplin). 1932. A hybrid polyantha raised from the R. wichuraiana rambler, Alberic Barbier, the ivory blooms being of similar colouring and borne with freedom.

Have had this for 9 or 10 months.

Compact form, but prone to defoliation.
Nice when it's nice.
Boring waste of space the rest of the time.

On probation (Sword of Damocles version).

Updated again - September 10th: This little beastie is looking fantastic at the moment. It's probably just trying to lull me into a false sense of security.

It definitely likes spring in this climate. The interesting part will be seeing if it can handle summer this year.

Nice little everblooming bush. Leaves in the Wichurana fashion, dark green and shiny, almost identical to those of 'Albéric Barbier'.
I'm pretty convinced this lovely Rose is not a sport of the well known rambler, bloom shape and color is quite different. 'Baby Albéric' has buff and white blooms in spring, becoming almost pure, transparent white in summer and autumn. Very free flowering, and easy to propagate from cuttings. It deserves more attention!
