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.

Rosa ‘Bernard’
Classified as a Damask Perpetual by William Paul, writing in The Gardeners Chronicle and as a Portland rose by James Smith in the Floricultural Cabinet. Rivers described ‘Rose Bernard’ as a sport of the ‘Crimson Perpetual’ rose, as was ‘Celina Dubos’, otherwise known as ‘Madame Dubos’. He described it as ‘a most beautiful rose with rather small flowers, but these are very double and finely shaped, of a delicate pink tinted with salmon, and very fragrant.’ [GC 5th Aug 1843, GC p.831/1844, FC p.6/1853, Rivers (1854, 1863)]. ....

The Damask Perpetuals are a small class, whose origin is obscure. They are remarkably fragrant, and of moderate growth. As a rule they do best upon their own roots, require a rich soil and rather close pruning. The most desirable varieties are as follows:

Les accidents qui ont lieu à l'égard des fleurs du Rosier sont, en effet, de plusieurs sortes : ainsi les stries, les panachures, les variations de forme, de couleur, de grandeur, de duplicature, peuvent se fixer sans que les pétales conservent leur forme normale : nous en avons des exemples dans Camaïeu, Bernard, Rose du roi striée, Mogador, etc.
