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.

As far as I can tell, that the parent was ‘Géant des Batailles’ has been from the beginning a widely-held assumption by fanciers rather than a stated fact from Trouillard or some other authoritative person. Standish, in his ads introducing it, does not make the claim.	REPLY

SOME NEGLECTED ROSES.
HYBRID PERPETUALS.
"Wild Rose"

Eugéne Appert.—Well do I remember the sensation Mr. Standish created when be brought up a stand of this flower to the National show held many years ago at Hanover Square Rooms. "Have you seen Standish's new Rose?" was heard on every sides and yet now it is very much relegated to the background. It was raised at Angers, by Trouillard, Lefroy's foreman, and is evidently of the Géant des Batailles race—that race which once reigned supreme; it is of a deep velvety-crimson colour, unlike any other Rose that I know; it is, however, defective in shape, and has, as the "Giant" and most of his family, a tendency to mildew.
