"The Shell Rose rose References

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.

Margaret Furness and Pat Toolan: Some Roses in South Australia through Californian Eyes.
We were eager to see whether Phillip Robinson and Gregg Lowery (visiting before the 2006 Busselton Conference) would recognize any of our foundling roses..... 'Petite Renoncule Violette' in David Ruston's garden looks to be the same as the very common Californian foundling that has the study name "Mary Lawrance's Shell Rose" .

A group similar to the second, also more slender-caned, suckering more broadly, arching and growing wider than tall.] unknown, pre-1799. [Provenance Huntington]. Three roses embody the exceptional beauty of the Hybrid Chinas: "Ruth's Steeple Rose", "Ruth's German Rose" and this. All have light slender canes, smallish formal flowers of many petals, and coloring that is out of the ordinary.
