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.

Gregg Lowery: "La Nymphe". Found in California, USA, by Fred Boutin, circa 1985. The name given this foundling refers to a Tea-Noisette rose descended from 'Marechal Niel', and the attribution is incorrect. Nonetheless, despite the soft blush coloring of the blooms and the blowsy quality of the flowers and their large open clusters, it is probably the offspring of a Tea rose crossed with an Old Noisette. The 3-inch semidouble flowers are large-petaled, somewhat pointed in the bud, and open cupped. It is a climbing rose that will reach 10 feet tall and wide. The rich, fresh fragrance owes its fruity sweetness to a Tea rose ancestor. Discovered in the Gilliam Cemetery in Sebastopol, California, by Fred Boutin, "La Nymphe" has been seen surviving in many California waysides.

"La Nymphe" Noisette. Good, reliable rebloom. Outstanding fragrance. Compact. Unknown...([provence:] Huntington) Pretty cupped flowers come in shades of pink from blush to rose, deeper toned in cool seasons, with a sweet Damsk perfume. The blooms can be 3 inches or so across and vary in the size of their clusters. This is one of the Bourbon-Noisettes which has a very expansive growth habit and makes a good small climber. ...This attribution may refer to a Tea-Noisette seedling of Maréchal Niel, called Nymphe, from 1910 which was white with a yellow center.
