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.

There appears to be two different plants in the photos. One, with the very blue flowers, appears to be Reine des Violettes with particularly blue flowers in bloom. The other plant has pinker flowers and many prickles, clearly not Reine des Violettes. This just adds to the confusion over the General Stefanik/Reine des Violettes identity. At least I am confused!

Yes, 'Général Stefanik' is indeed confusing. Early references state that Böhm faked at least some of his cultivars, and that 'Général Stefanik' was nothing else than 'Reine des Violettes'. However, none of the two different varieties in commerce and gardens currently resemble 'Reine des Violettes'. Both have relatively small to medium, untidy blooms. I am adding several photos from our garden which shows the colour variation, vigorous growth, and prominent eye.
There is some similarity to the rose sold as 'Centifolia à fleurs doubles violettes' in Germany, but buds, glands etxc are distinct from that.
