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.

Jean-Baptiste Guillot (père) (December 10, 1803 Gillonnay - April 18, 1882 Lyon) established his nursery in 1829 at La Guillotière near Lyon (today part of Lyon). The nursery propagated mainly greenhouse plants such as cactus, azalea, camelias, pelargonium. In 1834, J.-B. Guillot bought a large collection of roses from Victor Verdier and offered them in the 1834/35 season. His first recorded cultivar Lamartine, a Bourbon, appeared in 1842, the last, La Favorite, a Hybrid Perpetual in 1871.
His son Jean-Baptiste Guillot (fils) joined the nursery in 1851-1853; however, separated for private reasons and set up his own establishment. In 1870, J.-B. Guillot (père) sold his business to Joseph Schwartz and retired.
[From L'Horticulteur français, November 1870, p. 327:] M. GUILLOT père, rosiériste à Lyon, se décide, après tant d'années de fatigues et de travail opiniâtre pendant lesquelles il nous a livré de si bonnes et de si belles roses, à prendre un peu de repos, bien mérité et honorablement gagné. Il a cédé son bel établissement à M. Joseph Schwartz, qui, depuis bientôt six ans, dirigeait ses cultures. C'est donc à M. Joseph Schwartz, 43, rue du Repos, à la Guillotière (Lyon), que les clients de M. Guillot père doivent adresser leur commande.
