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.

Hybrides Remontants. Groupe I. — Madame Victor Verdier
Ce groupe se rapproche beaucoup de celui des "Charles Lefebvre"; on dit communément des rosiers qui le composent que ce sont des "Général Jacqueminot" à bois lisse: ils sont très florifères, franchement remontants. Rameaux lisses, verts, aiguillons petits et rares; feuillage vert, moyen; fleur en coupe, floraison le plus souvent en corymbe; on y rencontre les coloris les plus variés, du rose au rouge pourpre noirâtre.

Variété bien vigoureuse, paraissant à l'abri du blanc; feuillage vert foncé luisant; fleur bien faite, bien arrondie, très pleine, parfaite de forme, d'un coloris laque, puis teinté de cerise. Cette variété bien distincte est très florifère.
Translation: Hybrid Perpetual. Georges Backer. G. Paul et fils 1881.
This variety is quite vigorous, apparently safe from white (mildew?); the foliage is a gleaming dark green; the flower is well formed, quite rounded, very full, perfect in form, of a lacquer red color with a few cerise tints. This variety is quite distinct and very floriferous.
