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.

Pacifier has suggested General Jack for this rose.

I can't help with this one. Perhaps others can?
I recall a 2007 correspondence with Bill Grant wherein he asked:
>Have you grown 'General Jacqueminot' - if so, how did it grow and were you happy with it.

Two plants. One from the Pinjarra Heritage Rose Garden in 2002,
and the other a foundling passed on to me by Rose Marsh, also in 2002. Widely separated. I've never seen a flower from either!

Pacifier pointed out the rust on the leaves, which I hadn't noticed, but General Jack is susceptible to it. I will check other roses at Blakiston for it.
I haven't grown GJ.

It starts flowering very early in spring, in South Australia. Sweet scent.

The Oxford Companion to Australian Gardens 2002, page 73 mentions the nursery John Baptist, NSW, sent some orders by ship to S.A. and then by river boat up the Murray. John Baptist purchased plants from Camden and the Darling Nursery. Perhaps these catalogues should be perused by those seeking an identification for “Captain Olsen”.
