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.

‘Sultane Favorite’ is a fourth uncommon gallica, like the other three growing in the North Garden of Mottisfont, but more violet or purple than the others and without other markings. Vibert in 1823 also bred this one. In Catherine Gore’s The Rose Manual of 1838, the author lists it under three names: Felicie, Petite Renoncule, and Sultane Favorite, described as “of a purple, shaded with dark red or blueish [sic] violet.” Though it is no longer in commerce, it can yet be found in the Vintage Garden Collection where it goes by the name ‘Felicie’ and is described as “magenta pink fading paler.”

Complication supplémentaire: on peut observer à la Roseraie de Sangerhausen, un rosier appelé "La belle sultane", classé en gallique, qui n'a strictement rien à voir avec une quelconque forme de "Violacea". Il s'agit d'un arbuste d'environ 1,60 m de haut, très peu gallique d'apparence, qui donne de petites fleurs doubles, assez plates, de couleur rose. Ce rosier reste d'autant plus une énigme qu'on le retrouve à Mottisfont Abbey, en Angleterre, sous le nom de "Sultane favorite".
