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 have no idea if this is the real Hume's Blush brought back from China by Lord Hume. The bloom on mine seems closer to the pictures posted here of the Laos form. In any case the Chinas do very well in South Mississippi, and this is one of the stars in my garden. I t has no faults. It is what a China is supposed to be. An
almiost constant bloomer with excellent clean foliage clothing the entire plant. A wonderful garden rose where it is adapted. It likes warm humid climates.

My "Humes Bkush " came from Pickering in 2011 before they closed. If anyone can confirm exactly what rose Pickering was selling as "Humes Blush" in 2011, I would be much obliged if you would let me know.

Hello, thanks for replying. I want to get the Lao form. I have asked Burling a while back but I don't think it is this Lao version.	REPLY

Dr C. C. Hurst, writing in 1941, believed 'Hume's Blush' to be extinct. It had, in fact, been collected along with hundreds of other rose species and subspecies by the botanist, Dr Dieck of Zöschen, South Germany, in the latter part of the nineteenth century. It formed part of the complete collection exhibited at the World Botanical Congress in Paris in 1908 and was then planted in the Rosarium at Sangerhausen where it has remained ever since. Through the generosity of Herr Hans Vonholdt, the Curator, plant material has been made available to me. The plants display when in young growth the lovely purple-red wood and foliage so characteristic of their descendants while the somewhat sprawling habit is found among several of the early hybrids still in cultivation.
