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.

A Heritage Roses member who volunteers re the Rookwood roses tells me that this one is seed-fertile.

I was blown away by the similarity of “Isabel Smith” to ‘Comtesse de Labarthe’ this morning. Isabel’s bloom was slightly darker on the reverse. But foliage looks identical.
I feel that it was quite likely that Bernede may have used his 1857 ‘Comtesse de Labarthe’ in the parentage for his 1859 ‘Mme de Tartas’,

Because both roses are said to have a deeper reverse, I compared
”Isabel Smith” (extremely narrow stipules) and
”Almerta Orchard Pink” stipules are wider and are glandular pedicellate.
