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.

GLOIRE DE FRANCE Bizard, 1828. Habit: Upright shrub, attaining 1,60 m height and 1,20 m width. Foliage: light green, abundant; elliptical leaflets. Bloom: floriferous; solitary, most often in 2 or 3; large, very double, in irregular quarters. Colour: veined pink, slightly paler on the periphery. Fragrance; Moderate...."Gloire de France" was obtained by an amateur from Angers named Bizard, who was counsellor at the Royal Court of Angers. ...A report ...in 1835-1837, indicates that it bloomed for the first time in 1828 and gives the following description: "Very vigorous shrub; ..sepals are foliaceous and longer than the receptacle. Very large bloom (4 in..), flattened at the top or slightly concave; with very large outer petals, lilac-red, envelopping those at the centre, which are carmine-red, folded and twisted." Judging by the old catalogues, the colour of this variety is very variable: if it is "pale pink" for Vibert, it is "lilac-pink" for lacharme and Laffay, "light pink" for Prévost, "tender pink" for Guillot and even "deep wine-pink" for Duval.
The Anglo-Saxons currently set"Gloire des France" as a synonym of "Fanny Bias". This is an error. Vibert, in his catalogue of 1836, presents these two roses separately...
