    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.

    As with several other of Standish's roses, the raiser was Trouillard, but evidently introduced by Standish: "While giving his [Rivers's] modicum of praise to Trouillard, of Angers, and his seedlings, we hardly think justice is done to that grand Rose Eugène Appert: nor do we think it to be, as he implies, inferior to its parent Géant. We have, moreover, heard of (and indeed seen the stock of), one from the same raiser called Grégoire Bordillon, which in size, shape, colour, and vigour of habit, is believed to be a decided best on its papa," Cottage Gardener, vol. 25, 1861, p. 302.

    Reference added and breeder changed to Trouillard.
    I am not sure about the mention of Geant/papa. Does it imply the pollen parent was Géant des Batailles?

    I'm still trying to figure that one out too!
