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.

[From "Les Roses hybrides Italiennes" by Giuliana Eva Mameli-Calvino, pp. 25-27]
Dans l'histoire de la rosiculture industrielle italienne une heureuse période a débuté après 1930, avec la création des roses d'Aicardi à San-Remo : « Princesse » (1932) , « Madame Piero Puricelli » (1936) , « Saturnia » (1936) , «Gloire de Rome» (1937) , « Empire » (1938) , « Sirène » (1941), « Jeunesse Eternelle », « Savoie », et d'autres où prévalent les caractères des hybrides de roses « Thé », d'autres plus nettement « pernetiane » (?) ; toutes remarquables pour leur vigueur, boutons longs, fleur très grande et bien accrochée ( ? ) , de teintes éclatantes.

Nella storia della rosicoltura industriale italiana un felice periodo ha inizio, dopo il 1930, con la creazione delle rose dell'Aicardi a San Remo: Principessa (1932), Signora Piero Puricelli (1936), Saturnia (1936), Gloria di Roma (1937), Impero (1938), Sirena (1941), Eterna giovinezza, Savoia ed altre, alcune con caratteri prevalenti di ibride di Thea, altre più spiccatamente pernetiane; tutte distinte per vigore, bocciuoli lunghi, fiore molto grande e bene embricato, vivezza di tinte. Molte delle rose a gran fiore di Aicardi sono patentate negli S.U.d'A. Fiamma, floribunda è pure una sua varietà.

Saturnia flame red petals washed with the gold and apricot of a summer sunset in its native Italy.
Magazine  (Jul 1948)  Page(s) 3. trimester, p. 18.  
 
« Saturnia ». Demi-épanouie, la rose est admirable dans sa forme étoilée au coeur bien ferme et allongé, elle est alors bicolore : rouge de Carthame à revers jaune paille. Puis, à l'épanouissement, le même rouge, atténué, domine presque seul. Le rosier, de bonne vigueur, est muni d'un magnifique feuillage vert brillant caractéristique de la plupart des obtentions d'Aicardi.
