"Hahndorf Midwife's China" rose Description

My HMF:

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.

"Ebenezer Cemetery Miniature China" on the grave of Oswald Arthur Hampel died 1905 at 9 months of age.
"Habermann Cemetery Miniature China" on the graves of:
1. Berthold Rolant Habermann, died April 22, 1886
2. the double grave of Carl Christian Adolph Julius Mengler, died August 6, 1905, aged 45 years and
3. Carl Friedrich Heinrich Christian Mengler, died July 1891, aged 37

Seems the same as “Oakington Ruby”.
Possibly ‘Gloire des Laurences’ 1830.

Consider also:
‘Knight's Exuberant’ before 1825’.
‘Red Elf’ 1949
Not 'Midget', 1941. The leaves of which appear to be too large.
