'Pink Soupert' rose Description

My HMF:

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.

Notes:

Dingee & Conard are listed as the originators.

The information on the Vintage Garden website indicates that their 'Pink Soupert' is a rose 'found' by Ruth Knopf in a Charlotte, NC cemetery after it has been lost in the 'oblivion of time.'

Jim Delahanty (Sherman Oaks, CA) says: "Whether a seedling or a sport, Pink Soupert retains the same excellent fragrance, but the flower has fewer petals and does not ball or bull with the alacrity of Clothilde."
