'The Wax 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.

Duchesse d'Angouleme, or the Wax rose, is an old but deservedly a favourite variety: its colour is so delicate and its form so perfect, that it must always be admired ; the habit of the plant is most luxuriant, and rather more erect than most other members of the family.

It is interesting that the rose according to the description was raised in 1821 or ? 1835 by Vibert, but Rivers writing in 1840 already considered the rose as old. I planted it this year and it has already made strong and healthy growth.

American Rose Magazine, Volume 1922 p. 124
Paralleling this new arrangement of the variety tests, investigations are being started on the value of different rose-stocks by L. B. Scott and Guy E. Yerkes, in connection with their investigations on nursery stocks. The plan for the first year proposes to use as stocks Manetti, R. canina, Mme. Plantier, Seven Sisters; <b>Wax Rose</b>, Ragged Robin, R. cinnamomea, R. setigera, R. rugosa, R. multiflora cathayensis, R. Soulieana, R. multiflora polyantha (a vigorous type of R. multiflora), and some hybrids produced by the late Dr. Van Fleet, of R. setigera X R. Wichuraiana, and R. Jackii X R. Wichuraiana.

Possibly this reference should be placed under a synonym of 'Texas Wax' in R. Indica major.
