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 added a reference but am uneasy about which rose it could be for. It was taken from A.S. Thomas’ Growing Roses 1983, page 105.
Dr. Thomas had reprinted the list of roses from Shepherd’s (the Darling Nursery in Sydney) 1851 catalogue. He lists under
Deciduous
No. 38. Black Prince.
It is not William Paul’s 1866 Black Prince
and not Boyau’s 1854 ‘Prince Noir’.
Does anybody have any idea of what Shepherd’s 1851 Black Prince’ could be?

Maybe it's a locally bred variety, or perhaps a renamed variety.

Yes, very possibly. Rather than add it to my too-hard basket, I have given it a file of its own. It now joins other Thomas Shepherd, The Darling Nursery‘s oddities like ‘Australia’, ‘Generalissimo’ and ‘White Cluster’.

Just got one of this this year, but our dog promptly dug it up. Fortunately there were still some roots attached, so we potted it and it recovered. It's now back in the ground with a barrier. :)

I'll update this if the rose makes it in our zone 5 area.
