    "Canary Island Rose" Reviews & Comments
    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.

    Following the comments in "La Isla Bonita (La Palma, Canary Islands)". I am getting the impression that ‘Canary Islands’ is a foundling. At the moment it is not listed in HelpMeFind as such. ?

    It is a foundling, discovered in Texas; "Canary Island Rose" is the study name.

    My understanding is that William Welch gives a brief history of its having been brought to the San Antonio area of Texas by immigrants from the Canary Islands, but I don't have his book, 'Antique Roses for the South' to give the relevant quote in the references section.

    I just came across this book the other day. There is not a lot of detail:

    Antique Roses for the South, William C. Welch, p. 27

    "This particular specimen had arrived many years before with immigrants from the Canary Islands. The immigrant rose had rooted well, forming a large thicket of canes."

    photo caption:
    "Greg Grant and Pam Puryear examine an old Gallica Rose in San Antonio as the owner explains that it originally came from the Canary Islands during the 1920s."

    It looks a bit like an unmossy 'William Lobb'.
