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.

Taking it at face value, the 1935 quote from Les Amis des Roses appears to regard 'Rhodologue Gravereaux' and 'Rosomane Gravereaux' as two different roses. If they are, perhaps they were siblings.

Hillary Merrifield recently came across another reference to this rose in Les Plus Belles Roses au Début du XXe Siècle, under the name 'Rosomane Jules Gravereaux'.
The entry is as follows:
1st column
Rosomane Jules Gravereaux
Mlle Marie Van Houtte x Madame Abel Chatenay

2nd column
Docteur Joaquin Fontes 1908

3rd column [English translation]
Lilacy pink on exterior, bright pink on the inside. Flowers large, very full, in quarters; very floriferous, very vigorous. Good cut flower.

As the breeder, date of introduction and parentage are the same as 'Rhodologue Jules Gravereaux', it seems likely that this is a syn of the same rose.

I have added the entry to References - are you happy for the name 'Rosomane Jules Gravereaux' to be listed as a synonym?

I am. A reference like this is worth its weight in gold. One might be looking in indexes under Rh.... and overlook any Ro....'s. I've added the synonym as 'Rosomane Jules Gravereaux (Tea, Fontes, 1908) to make it clear it was not the 1899 white HT from Soupert & Notting.
