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.

Initial post 26 FEB 24 by odinthor
We learn from the Journal of Horticulture and Home Farmer, vol. 57, 1908, p. 33, that the rose referred to in the image posted here at HMF at the Photos tab for Hobbies refers to 'Chin-Chin China': Discussing a display by Hobbies at an exhibition, the periodical mentions "their new Chin-chin yellow China Rose" (the name, sic). This is clearly a different rose than the salmon pink 'Chin Chin' from F. Cant of a couple of decades later.

In periodical The Garden, vol. 74, May 28 1910, p. 266, we read, referring to another exhibit by Hobbies, this time in 1910, " [...] a new China Rose named Chin-Chin (this appearing very robust)."

Thank you. References added. And I have moved the photo to Chin Chin China (china, Hobbies, 1909)
I will alter the bred date from 1909 to 1908.
