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.

Lynne Chapman and Billy West. A Close Look at Tea Roses
3. Incorrectly identified Tea roses, where we have been able to establish the correct name. A Tea rose is in commerce around the world today as Souvenir d’Élise Vardon, a rose which early colour descriptions tell us was light straw yellow or yellowish white to delicate light pink. The rose often sold under this name seems too brightly coloured to match these descriptions but we know that the colours of Tea roses can vary. So we needed more to go on and Paquet and Rouillard provided more in the year it was introduced, describing the peduncles of Souvenir d’Élise Vardon, as ‘showing little brownish hairs along their whole length’ and the receptacle also as ‘sprinkled with little brownish hairs’.
Glands or hairs or both, they are not present on the shiny, smooth pedicels of the rose sold as Souvenir d’Élise Vardon today, so careful observations from the 1850s gave us proof that this rose was misidentified - but what was it? Fortunately, the same rose is also in commerce under another name, its correct name, Mlle Franziska Krüger, 1879 and, as well as early descriptions matching, we have the proof of identity from a colour sport, Blumenschmidt which occurred in Germany and was released in 1905. Like its parent, it can show a hard green centre which occasionally contains many tiny buds.

‘Blumenschmidt’ = Thé. Jadis en vogue, ce rosier thé a presque disparu: il est vrai qu’il est peu rustique et exige chaleur et soleil. Sa fleur très grande et pleine entoure de pétales roses son large cœur jaune primevère, ponctué d’un œil vert au centre. Le buisson, bas et compact, porte un feuillage sain et luisant, bien résistant aux maladies. Schmidt, Allemagne, 1906.
