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.

Night... with petals of black velvet on which blood has been spilt...

['Lady Sackville'] was first exhibited by McGredy's in 1921... Slow to propagate, it was not offered for sale until 1930, and from then was known as 'Night'. In its day it was the deepest, most sumptuous of all crimson-black roses and its velvety tones would have appealed to Vita. Sadly, though still available in American nurseries, it is no longer grown in Britain.

Until we got these two new roses ['Charles Mallerin' and 'Tassin'], Night and 'Nigrette' were the best very dark roses procurable. The latter was usually the darker, but its blooms were smaller.

...but I have found that many of the blooms do not come up to my standard in this respect... and perhaps Night, a charming little flower when at its best.

R. Marion Hatton. An American Review of the New Roses.
Picaninny is a single Rose of deep red, shaded maroon, and a cinnamon scent. There may be a possibility in this as a breeder because of its parentage (Night x Sanguinaire). Sanguinaire is part Rugosa, and there is a possibility that Night carries a shot of Rugosa also. This may be a chance to get stamina into our weakling Pernetianas.
