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.

‘Fabvier’ is a china rose of 1829, ..... bred by the prolific Jean Laffay. Red with a blush-pink center and a white streak on at least one of the petals, it is as prolific as its breeder, blooming almost constantly on a short, dense bush about thirty inches high, exhibiting very few prickles. Invariably it blooms in December. The matte green leaves are typical of china roses: three to seven leaflets that are lanceolate and serrulate, with a somewhat satin-like surface. Stipules are adnate and glabrous. The purplish-green and round hips drop their sepals.
General Fabvier was a French officer who had fought under Napoleon, served as ambassador to Isfahan, then fought against the Turks in Greece’s war for independence in 1826-27 where he proved himself a hero. Later, under King Louis Philippe, he served as a Parliament member unafraid to confront other politicians who succumbed to extortion or served powerful interests. After terms as ambassador to Constantinople and to Denmark, he retired in 1851, dying four years later

Another group of suspected synonyms and sports that the result of this study support is a red, semi-double flowered group based on the China Rose cultivar Fabvier (syn. 'Colonel Fabvier'). 'Fabvier' [ex Vintage Gardens], 'Martha Gonzales', and 'Old Gay Hill Red China' [both ex Antique Rose Emporium] (C40, C10, and C16) all had identical SSR profiles. Based on catalogue descriptions of the plants in commerce...the results suggest that the found rose 'Martha Gonzales' is actually 'Fabvier', and that 'Old Gay Hill Red China', also a found rose, is a taller growth form sport of 'Fabvier'.
