'Clare' rose References

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.

Rose Clare Garden Variety. This was sent from Italy by the gentleman whose name it bears, with several other very beautiful Roses. Its exact origin is not known to us. It has now for several years been growing against a west wall in the Garden of the Horticultural Society, but it does not appear likely to exceed the stature of five or six feet.
The great beauty of the variety consists in its constant flowering, and the deep rich crimson of its petals; besides which, its foliage is of a rich deep green, evergreen, and not more affected by cold than that of the common China. One would think it a hybrid between Rosa indica and Rosa sempervirens, if either of those species possessed the deep tint found in its flowers; in that respect it agrees with R. semperflorens, but there is nothing else in its habit to indicate such parentage. In its styles it conforms to Rosa sempervirens, of which it ought perhaps to be considered a domesticated variety.
It strikes freely from cuttings. J.L.
