'Rose Neumann' rose Description
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.

Notes:
Perhaps the first Bourbon...The rose cultivated in India as R. borboniana is actually 'Rose Edouard', however with 35-58 petals it is rather full (see reference of 2009 with photo).
This rose was called 'Bengale Neuman' after its introducer by Péan, 'Rose de l'Ile de France' by Dubreuil, 'Rose de Bourbon à fleurs pleines' by Prévost and 'Bengale Dubreuil' by Vibert.
Boitard says it was grown from seed sent to Hardy in 1822, and later introduced as a plant by Neuman.
'Rose Edouard' sold in USA is probably mislabeled. Member Kim Rupert says that the reddish semi-double Damask-like rose was sold by Pickering in the 90s and by Limberlost Roses even earlier.
A copy of the rose from the National Plant Collection of Victor Lewis, Braintree, Essex, was planted in Sangerhausen after 2011.
