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.

The Burdin catalogue of 1836 lists the Noisette Marchesi - certainly this variety. It also lists 'Lechiana' which you do not list. Lechi was a Brescia-based camellia breeder and one of the camellias bred (according to the International Camellia Register) by Casoretti was called 'Lechiana'. Though certainly no proof, it seems likely, then, that this rose too is a Casoretti rose.

When I posted the previous note I had no idea to whom the rose 'Millesii' listed by Hardy (as a Noisette) might be dedicated. (Like 'Marchesii' which precedes it, it is not indicated as being of Italian origin.) Probably it is another Monzese rose - probably bred by Casoretti - since Dr. Francesco Millesi, it turns out, was the Director of the Monza hospital until his death in 1834.

While he does not suggest that it is Italian, Hardy in his 1837 Luxembourg Garden inventory lists 'Marchesii' along with 'Millesii' (p 146 of original).
