'Pompon 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.

Notes:

Possibly a number of different varieties. The synonyms have been stated in different combinations by different authors.
Dominique Séguier was the Bishop of Meaux 1637-1659. The 'Rose de Meaux' might have originated in his garden, but there is no evidence that he was the breeder, nor that it was discovered in 1637 when he became Bishop.

DNA analysis has shown that 'Red Damask' at L'Hay is a close relative of the centifolia 'De Meaux'. - see References.

Aiton said there was a greater and smaller 'De Meaux'; the smaller rose was also called 'Pompone' or 'Pompon'. He said it was R. provincialis (usually defined as a hybrid of Gallica and Centifolia roses). See REFERENCES, (1797).
