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.

The 1904 photograph from 'The Garden' shows unopened buds somewhat distorted or shrivelled-looking in appearance. If this was usual for this rose it might help in identifying it, if it still exists unidentified somewhere. Does this feature ring a bell with anyone familiar with foundlings? Also the leaves and stems are rather shiny.

Is this rose extinct? I'm collecting noisettes and would love to know a source for this one.

Ten years on, refer to "Juani de Temperley"' an Argentina foundling.

From the Rosen-Zeitung 1892, page 79: Under the heading Favourite Roses, by Ketten Bros, Luxembourg.

"Lieblingsrosen ...

L'Idéal (Nabonnand 1888): Blume metallischgelb und rot, schattiert und verwaschen mit blendend goldgelb;"

My translation:
Favourite Roses ...
L'Idéal (Nabonnand 1888) Flower metallic-yellow and red, shaded and suffused with dazzling golden yellow;
